RICHLAND COUNTY, Ill. (WTHI) - Riley Drummond may look like a 10-year-old. But on a daily basis, she deals with responsibilities that most don t have to encounter for most of our lives.
Riley’s mother Micah Drummond says, She is very much in control of her care. She knows all of her medications. She questions everything, wants to know why.
Drummond was born with congenital heart defects. In July she had a bicycle accident that bruised her up and chipped her tooth. Drummond began to feel sluggish. Her family thought maybe the 10-year-old was having growing pains, but Riley Drummond knew something was up.
