Doctors Believe 9-year-old Girl will not Survive after Flu B Diagnosis


Mia Klyczek, a 9-year-old from Alden, is currently in critical condition at Oishei Children's Hospital after being diagnosed with influenza B.


Mia was taken to the emergency room in the early hours of February 19th experiencing symptoms that included a mild fever and vomiting. According to a GoFundMe page created to support her family, she suffered a seizure and required sedation along with a breathing tube for assistance.



Her family reports that medical professionals believe the flu B virus has led to significant swelling and bleeding in her brain as well as complications related to her heart. They are reaching out to the community for prayers and support, hoping for a miracle in Mia's recovery.



On Thursday morning, Mia's mother Christina shared an update on Facebook, stating, "The neurologists informed us that the swelling in her brain is severe. Unfortunately, there is no surgical option to alleviate the pressure beyond the current treatments. They do not believe she will survive."
