The holidays have been cut short for the Paggini family. Indeed, little Adrianna, only 3 months old, caught whooping cough. Giuseppa Ciurleo spoke in the middle of the night at the hospital, worried and sad: “We stayed under surveillance for Adrianna’s breathing and oxygen. Hoping that it doesn’t get worse, otherwise she’ll need respiratory assistance. We start antibiotics… And then we wait. We don’t know yet how long we’ll stay here, but the main thing is that she gets better. It’s very hard for me to see her on an IV and hooked up, it’s distressing and reassuring at the same time, because I know it’s for her own good, but my mother’s heart hurts.“The little girl seemed to be doing much better, however, she had a relapse… Another virus was detected in Adrianna. Giuseppa speaks again, in tears, and anxious for her baby. We tell you everything.
A stable state
Her community worried about little Adrianna, Giuseppa Ciurleo explains whooping cough for babies. The young mother was vaccinated when she was pregnant, which allowed her daughter not to contract a serious form. She explains: “She doesn’t have severe whooping cough, but it’s still pretty bad for her age… It’s actually coughing fits that can make her lose her breath, and she can turn blue, choke, and those are the episodes I told you about that I had with Adrianna before she came to the hospital. It happens here that sometimes her breathing isn’t good, or she has small losses of oxygen… For now it’s nothing serious, but that’s why we can’t leave the hospital since she needs to be monitored all the time.“However, the hospital has detected another virus… We’ll tell you more.
Giuseppa Ciurleo, “It’s Too Hard…”
In tears, Joseph Ciurleo speaks again in his story: “Definitely… We both spent the night here after several episodes of apnea at home… I’ll tell you everything in more detail when everything is back to normal but yesterday’s blood tests finally revealed another virus in addition to her whooping cough. Which means she’s not on the road to recovery as she should be. I can’t do anything but cry, it’s too hard for my tiny baby.“We wish the Paggini family a lot of courage. Stay connected for news.
