“That is the epitome of Dykota, just happy, fun, smiling, random, Krystal Morgan told Patch of this photo. (via Krystal Morgan)
BOLINGBROOK, IL Dykota Morgan, a 15-year-old basketball star and stellar student, was set to wrap up her freshman year at Bolingbrook High School on a high note after returning to school following the coronavirus shutdown.
Morgan developed a headache Saturday, May 1. By Sunday evening, Dykota had tested positive for coronavirus. By Tuesday morning, the bright, bubbly teen was dead. It s just unexplainable, the pain, Dykota s mother, Krystal Morgan, told Patch Friday. She said her family is searching for answers after the sudden loss of Dykota, whom she described as a perfectly healthy athlete.
Morgan said she then bought 10 rapid COVID tests from Walgreens to test their entire family. Her older daughter tested positive as well but everyone else in the family tested negative, she said.
Morgan said she bought everything that everybody ever told me they had COVID that helped them and set up a station outside her daughters bedrooms where she could leave tea, soup and other supplies for them to pick up while wearing N95 masks as a way for them to quarantine within the same house.
At around 2 p.m. Monday, Morgan said Dykota called her as her condition worsened.
