Makeda Philip, 20, who resides in Barbuda, describes how terrified she was when her infant daughter, fittingly named Miracle Charles, developed two febrile seizures and had to be airlifted for a series of tests and treatment.
She recounted that at approximately 3pm on March 22nd , she noticed that Miracle, who is usually a cheerful and playful child, was quieter than usual. Upon being checked, it was discovered that she was running a temperature, for which she was given a fever-reducer.
