Doctors believe that children with coronavirus infections often have different symptoms than adults
Juliet Daly, 12, sits with her parents on the front porch of their family home in Covington, La. on April 30, 2020.
Driving across the causeway that separates the family’s home north of Lake Pontchartrain from the New Orleans hospital where their daughter was taken — with what was later determined to be a coronavirus infection — she was forced to imagine a life without her Juliet.“She’s the sweetest girl. She’s the sweetest girl in the whole world. And she does not deserve this.
As Juliet and her 5-year-old brother spar with each other using pool noodles, it’s hard to imagine that just last month Juliet was fighting for her life. At one point she had a heart attack and doctors had to perform CPR for two minutes before she came back.Juliet Daly, 12, plays with her brother Dominic, 5, in their family home in Covington, La. on April 30, 2020.Her coronavirus journey didn’t start with many of the symptoms that have affected adults — breathing problems, for example.
Juliet quickly ended up in the emergency room of the local hospital. There, she had a heart attack, underwent CPR, and was eventually airlifted to Ochsner Medical Center. Dr. Jake Kleinmahon was one of the doctors who was there to meet her and care for her over the next ten days. “Juliet came in as one of the sickest children we’ve taken care of with COVID-19,” said Kleinmahon. The top chamber of her heart was not working correctly with the bottom chamber, and she was developing “multisystem organ failure,” he said., such as the abdominal problems Juliet had, or rashes in other cases. He said many children also have another virus besides the coronavirus and that was the case with Juliet.
