Little Boy Battling COVID-19 Temperature of More than 106 Can’t Shake Off Fever

The coronavirus outbreak is causing widespread fear and concern. People are socially distancing and doing their best to keep themselves safe, but the virus doesn’t seem to spare anyone, including children as young as a day old.

Initially, researchers and epidemiologists believed children were at lower risk of contracting the virus, but the number of cases of youngsters affected proves that not to be completely relevant information.

One family is sharing how their one-year-old son was diagnosed with COVID-19 and are urging other parents of young children to be extra cautious.

Speaking of the symptoms the toddler from Farmington, Michigan, experienced, his mom Amanda May Schreiber told Detroit News, “He looked like he was passing out, I’m doing songs and acting crazy in the car and he just wasn’t responsive. It was one of the scariest moments of my life.”

The family self-isolated themselves and stayed home making sure they were regularly checking on their kids’ temperature. That morning of March 31, both Luke’s and his 4-month-old sibling Alistair’s temperature indicated they had fever.

“Luke woke up crying, which he never usually does, and he had a fever close to 103, a little more than Alistair’s,” Amanda said.

“I immediately thought ‘oh no,’ but we didn’t panic. We got them up, gave them Motrin and the fevers reduced quickly, so we hoped it was nothing to worry about.”

Luke’s condition didn’t get any better and his temperature rose to 106.5.

“I promise you we checked it 10 times using two different thermometers and checking it on ourselves, too.”

Amanda and Ryan tried many things i order to lower Luke’s temperature down, such as giving him a bath, but nothing seemed to help.

“Luke started screaming because it was cold, and we were obviously really scared because it all happened really quickly,” Ryan added. “In that quick moment of panic, you know you have to jump in action.”

The worried parents rushed their little boy to the hospital.

“Six hours after we got to the hospital, his fever was still at 104.5. He stayed the night. It took just 12 hours to get the results back that he was positive for COVID-19 because they do in-house testing,” Amanda told the Detroit News.

“Doctors told us that with that temperature, any longer before bringing him into the hospital he’s at a much higher risk for seizure and brain damage,” Ryan said. “There’s a lot of people who are, unfortunately, losing loved ones, and as long as we can keep Luke healthy, we’re lucky.”

It’s bee a while since Luke was diagnosed with COVID-19 and doctors are still struggling to get his temperature down.

“It goes away and comes right back. We have yet to see a day without a fever at some point. He gets exhausted way faster and just needs to sleep more.”

“It’s important to stay vigilant,” Ryan said. “We thought we were doing everything that we could to prevent it. We were washing surfaces, we were cleaning hands, leaving mail and packages in the garage, and Luke still got it.”

We pray for sweet Luke to overcome the condition as soon as possible. And for the rest of the parents, make sure you keep your little ones as protected as possible.

Grandma Changes Grandson’s Name while Mother Recovers from a C-section

Some in-laws know how to keep distance and never interfere between their child and their spouse, but there are also those who want to have a say in each decision the couple makes. Sadly, it can negatively affect the emotional connections the partners share. Just like that of the husband and the wife from this story.

One mother wrote a letter to Slate describing what her mother-in-law did while she was recovering from giving birth to her son via c-section.

She started her letter by explaining how her husband’s mother has never been fond of her and has always been a manipulator. One good thing was that she and her husband lived states away from her husband’s family, but that didn’t prevent her mother-in-law to find a way to interfere whenever possible.

When she heard the news that her son and her daughter-in-law were expecting a baby, the mother-in-law was over the moon. But soon after, she started asking questions about the baby’s name. The couple told her how they have already decided on the name, but she insisted she didn’t like what they had in mind naming their bundle of joy and said how she had a better name.

As the woman sharing this story put her mother-in-law in her place and told her how the conversation about the baby’s name was a done deal, the mother-in-law though she could persuade her son to listen to her, but once he turned her name offers down himself, she stopped arguing.

When the day they were all eagerly waiting for finally came, the mom gave birth via c-section and was way too tired to deal with paper work so she let her husband deal with it. The mother-in-law, however, saw it as a chance to make her son change the baby’s name.

He didn’t want to listen to his mom at first, but she was persistent, so the new father agreed on a compromise.

He kept the first name of the baby to what his wife wanted, but changed the middle name from “Finley” to “Finlay.”

Once the “damage was done,” the husband realized his wife would be mad at him for listening to his mother, so he decided not to tell her anything about what happened.

A couple of months later, the mother-in-law sent the baby a gift which was addressed to Finlay. The mother knew something was wrong so she went on and checked the baby’s Social Security Number. To her surprise (or not) her son’s middle name was in fact Finlay.

After she confronted her husband, he said how his mother managed to guilt-trip him.

At the end, this woman forgave her husband, but she couldn’t forgive her mother-in-law.

The advice she got after sending the letter? That she’s too kind for her husband and his family and that she should have asked for a divorce.

Well, despite what the husband and his mother did, we believe divorce shouldn’t be an option.

What about you? How would you react if you were in this woman’s place?

Neighbors Destroy Their Vehicles Because They Refuse to Stop Running over Fence

Those people who get to live in a neighborhood of nice humans who mind their own business and never cause any troubles, such as playing loud music or ruining stuff, are truly lucky. 

One woman shared a very interesting story of how her father dealt with his obnoxious neighbors and people love it. 

Turning to Reddit, this woman wrote:

“We live in a small private neighbourhood, the neighbours are related to us more or less (distant relatives). Everybody here is a complete nutjob. They were constantly arguing over decades before me or my brother were even born. Our property line is kinda like a square and it is surrounded by road from two sides. Keep in mind that on one part of the road we let our neighbours use 1 square meter of the land so they could use the road safer and not damage our property.”

As this constant fight went on and on throughout the years and the neighbors couldn’t come to terms about the problem and find a solution that would suit everyone best, they simply decided to run over this man’s fence and destroy it.  

“One day my neighbors order a massive truck filled with tons of wood. The truck driver runs over our fence. Nobody wanted to pay for the damage. Our fence is made out of multiple bushes, trees and a little bit of metal fence too. These plants were now completely destroyed and a part of metal fence completely bent. We had to replant these plants and place a new metal fence. My father told me this was not the first time this happened but actually third. I couldn’t believe it when I heard this. So this is where the revenge begins.”

Not having the strength to put up with the careless behavior of those people living around him, the woman’s father, who is a police officer, decided to dig up the property line marker and fill the area with rock-filled barrels. Shortly after, three of the neighbors damaged their vehicles after running onto the barrels. 

“Over the period of 1 year these neighbors hit the barrels so much with their cars that the barrels are now worthless.”

Dad, however, wasn’t about to quit on that small piece of land that belonged to him. 

“He bought cement, sand and metal poles. One peaceful afternoon my father and I cemented that whole part of the land and placed some lovely flowers on top. So when they hit the concrete they can smell our flowers of victory/defeat.”

Needless to say, they cars were damaged further, and the fence stayed untouched. 

“As we expected. 5 neighbors in total wrecked their cars on the new fence and nobody came knocking on the door.”

Later, the woman who shared the story added an update saying:

“Some of them are really bad drivers. But they got used to it after a while. There is one neighbor that was drunk most of the time. I wouldn’t say they were drunk driving but merely just turned too soon.”

Girl, 5, Doesn’t Hesitate a Second When Mom Has Seizure in Pool, Jumps In and Saves Her Life

This is the incredible story of a five-year-old girl named Allison who stepped in for her mother when she needed it the most and saved her life. Not every child that young knows how to react in a stressful situation and offer help, but sweet Allison knew exactly what she was doing.

Tracy Anderwald, Allison’s mom, shares the story of her brave girl’s act and is forever thankful for what she did for her.

One day, Tracy decided to relax in the pool together with her daughter. But soon, Allison got bored and went to play in the yard. What was supposed to be a fun day for these two, could easily turn into a tragedy. As Tracy was swimming, she experienced a seizure and her head went under the water.

As Allison was playing, she noticed how her mom stopped swimming and rushed to check if everything was fine. The girl then saw her mom’s body floating and her head in the water. Without thinking twice, Allison jumped in the pool and pulled her mom to safety using all her strength.

Sweet Allison then turned her mom over, but she was still having a seizure so Allison went inside the house and asked from the rest of the family to come.

Tracy’s husband then called 911.

Next thing Tracy remembers is the hospital bed. She wasn’t sure what happened exactly or how she ended up in the hospital. When her sister, Tedra Hunt, told her how it was Allison who saved her life, Tracy couldn’t believe her ears.

“Allison was able to do that on her own. And so it’s a miracle,” Tedra said.

When Tracy checked the security footage, she saw the whole thing. She was very grateful she raised such brave and quick-thinking child.

Tracy recalls teaching Allison how to swim when she was just two and a half years old. It seemed she was way too young for that skill at the time, but Tracy was now happy she did that.

The incredible video of the rescue was later uploaded on YouTube and has been seen more than 4.5 million times.

Allison was hailed a hero and deserves all the praise for her brave act.

Seizures, sadly, can happen at any time and any place, and can be a result of many different conditions such as strokes, head injuries, extremely low blood sugar, and more. But we should all know how to offer help in such situations.

You can take a look at the incredible rescue in the video below. Please share it with your friends.

Baby Girl Joins Mom and Dad in Prayer at the Dinner Table

They say children don’t do what they are told to, but what they see others doing. That is why we should mind the way we behave around our children. Teaching them by doing might be the most powerful method of shaping them into nice people who will be important part of the community.

That is exactly what the parents of this little girl named Eloise Incorvaia did. Even though she is way too young to understand the concept of religion and prayer, her parents want to raise her God’s way so they try to introduce religion from an early age.  

Before every meal, the family says a prayer and thanks God for the food and all the other beauties life has given them. 

On one occasion, while they were all sat by the table, preparing to feed their daughter in the high chair, she knew exactly what to do before she started eating. As soon as she heard the word prayer, she spread her tiny little hands towards her parents’ and closed her eyes, ready to listen to her Dad. 


However, the cutest moment of all comes at the very end when daddy says “Amen” and Eloise repeats the word in a baby language. This might be the most adorable little girl out there.

Not only she is a cutie pie, but very smart as well. Her parents know that everything they teach her is not in vain because she acquires lots of the things she hears and sees. 

When this heartwarming video was taken, sweet Eloise was just 20 months old. People loved it so much that Eloise was featured on Fox News, The Ellen Show, and the Today Show.

Today, the family has two more kids and cute Eloise has a sister and a little brother. We hope they will be raised the way Eloise was.

Although we have witnessed humans and wild animals being friends before, it still comes as a surprise when we see how people interact closely with lions, tigers, and gorillas. This is especially unusual when it comes to children getting close to these animals. Just like little Isaiah and the baby gorilla he met while at the Columbus Zoo in Congo. 

Kamoli, the cute baby gorilla spotted Isaiah getting closer to the glass behind which he stood wanting to say hi and maybe play a bit.

Speaking of the lovely encounter, Isaiah’s mom, Sherry Chute told Columbia Dispatch: “He was just looking at the gorillas and we said to him ‘Isaiah what do the gorillas do?’ and he started pounding his chest.” Isaiah’s mom Sherry Chute told The Columbia Dispatch.

Kamoli and Isaiah had the time of their life running from one side of the enclosure to the other, and whenever the animal would run, Isaiah would follow. Then, Kamoli would play hide-and-seek and would get behind a tree, and Isaiah would try to find him. 

Isaiah’s parents were overjoyed their little boy experienced such incredible adventure as to be friends with a unique animal. Well, how many of us get to hang out with a cute gorilla?

The fun time lasted for about five minutes, but those were the best five minutes ever for the new friends. The glass between them didn’t stop them from enjoying the game of tag.  

As he was leaving the place, Isaiah said “bye gorilla!”

“It was a really fun interaction,” Chute said. “Isaiah is just like that. Anyone who knows him knows thats he’s super playful. It was so fun to see him interact with the animals and know what they were. He was just so truely blissful in that moment, it melted his mommy’s heart.”

Once the video was shared on the Internet, people fell in love with it and it soon reached more than 2.5 million views. 

“That is so cute.just shows how much alike human children and baby gorillas are alike. How can people poach these amazing animals in the wild?,” one commenter said.

“Harambe reincarnated, showing everyone he just wanted to play with children,” another added.

Make sure you take a look at Isaiah and Kamoli playing in the video below.

Photo of 92-year-old Man Dyeing His Wife’s Hair Amid Social Distancing Goes Viral

The coronavirus pandemic that is still shaking the world has changed the way we have lived during these last couple of months. With the lock-downs and curfews, people are forced to stay home and spend more time with their families. And being surrounded by those we love the most is what is helping us overcome the situation easier.

For an elderly couple from Israel the isolation from the rest of the people and staying home seems to be filled with fun. As the wife couldn’t visit the hair saloon, her husband was there to help her stay as beautiful as she already is. What he did? He dyed her hair. Isn’t that the sweetest thing you’ve heard all day?

Luckily, their grandson was there to snap a photo of the two.

The cute image that has gone viral was posted on Facebook with the following caption: “These are my 92-year-old grandparents (we will be healthy). In any situation, my grandfather takes care that my grandmother will feel well-groomed. You don’t see things like this every day.”

People shared it further and commented how it showed what true love looks like, and we can’t agree more.

It also showed us that instead of complaining how we are forced to stay home and how bored we are being around our family for days, we should use that time to bond even further, just like these two lovebirds do.

One person wrote: “One of the most beautiful pictures I’ve seen in the last period. I wish for everyone such love… A generation that knows how to love and give for real. May they be blessed with health”

Another commented: “To think how much this amazing couple has passed in decades together – wars, stressed financial periods, medical problems and still stayed together – Food for thought for all of us. Health, a sea of love and longevity for this amazing couple.”

If this lovely photo made your day, don’t forget to share it with your family and friends.
