IOWA CITY, Iowa (KWWL) — Christmas is still on hold at the Frey household as the Iowa family’s focus is entirely on their 4-year-old daughter fighting for her life after getting the flu.
"They didn't think anything of it. I think the highest her fever had gone at home was 100,” said Courtney Frey, Jade Delucia’s grandmother.
After being rushed to a local hospital, Jade began seizing — prompting staff to life flight her to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.
"They tested her for a lot of different things to ensure if wasn't several infections or bacteria. But the only thing that came back was influenza B that had gotten into her brain,” Frey said.
Something her family never expected from the flu — leaving their youngest daughter fighting for her life...
