Crawford Deveaux, 15, was in the hospital for more than a week with a severe case of COVID-19.
“He asked me, he said, ‘Aunt Tawanda, am I dying?’ and that just tore me up,” his aunt Tawanda Blake said.
Deveaux was discharged Sunday from Levine Children’s Hospital. He did not feel well so he wasn’t able to speak, but his aunt wants others to know what happened.
He spent eight days in the hospital, much of it attached to a breathing tube. At one point he had respiratory failure.
“Had we not had that treatment, I don’t know where Crawford would be today,” Blake said.
