A little girl named Camila Peralta had just turned three and was excited to start a new adventure in Kindergarten. Her mother, Mery Mendoza Peralta, revealed that Camila could not stop speaking about starting her first day in Kindergarten.
In fact, Camila was so excited that she wanted to show up prepared and as knowledgeable as possible. Her mother said she had books she wanted to study so that she did not look “dumb” at school.
Mery had equipped her daughter with all the necessary books to learn her letters, coloring, and reading. She was even more excited to show her colorful lunch boxes at school. But before Camila could even get a chance to experience Kindergarten, she started developing symptoms such as stomach pain, fever, and vomiting.
Naturally, Camila’s mother rushed her daughter to the nearest pediatrician in her Horseshoe community. However, she did not know this would be the beginning of an emotionally draining process.
Visiting Hospitals and Tragic Death
When Camila and her mother got to the pediatrician, they were recommended to go to a hospital as the little girl showed severe signs of dehydration. Mery did as she was told and went to a nearby hospital, The Basica Hospital of Salinas de Hidalgo, where she hoped her daughter would be examined and healed.
When professionals attended to the three-year-old, they covered her in wet towels to bring her fever down. Then Mery was sent to get suppositories. After a few hours, she was given a serum and painkillers and was told Camila was ready to be taken home.
However, Camila’s parents did not see any improvements in their daughter’s health. Hence, they decided to go to another private doctor, who prescribed her new medication, suggested Camila eat non-sweet fruits, and recommended a lot of hydration.
However, neither the food suggestions nor the medication could stop Camila’s vomiting, so Mery decided to take her back to the private doctor, and this time, he attended to her urgently and had her admitted into a hospital. The doctors put the little girl on an IV, but it took longer than expected as the nurses could not find a vein.
Eventually, they found one, but the worried parent explained that her daughter was disconnected ten minutes later. The doctors did not do an electrocardiogram, which records any signals from the heart.
