Influencer’s 5-year-old dies after flu
However, his condition got worse and he contracted sepsis. This is when the body forms an immune response and attacks itself.
Despite medical professionals trying their best, Micah did not improve. He was then admitted to intensive care and reportedly did not have any ‘brain activity present.’ His death occured on New Year’s Eve.
Kim shared how when the family came back home without their son, it was the ‘heart-wrenching awkward experiences,’ of his life.
“Coming back to a home where Micah is not running around, laughing and screaming as he usually is,” the influencer said in his video.
Micah is one of the 3,100 people in the United States who have died after they contracted the flu this season. Over 7.5 million other people were also infected with the flu.
Children who are young and infants are among those who are hit hardest. This strain of flu was mutated into a ‘super-flu’ and has been causing infections which are much more severe than usual.
The biggest strain right now is Influenza A which is a fast-spreading mutated H3N2 called ‘subclade K.’
Share this with others so they can send their thoughts and prayers to the family as well as they grieve this unfortunate loss.
