Tennessee family shares memories of their 7-year-old daughter, who died less than 72 hours after testing positive for COVID-19.
Adalyn, a second-grade student, stayed home from school that day and appeared to be feeling fine, according to her parents. It was not until the following night, they said, that she started struggling to walk and speak.
"Even while it was happening, it didn’t seem real," Adam Graviss said of his daughter's rapid decline."Her levels were improving and then she just took a turn for the worse."Adalyn Graviss poses with her parents, Adam and Jennifer Graviss in an undated family photo. "The combination is probably what ultimately cost her her life,"Thomsen said."That is pretty rare among viruses, this ability of COVID to hit both of those [the heart and the brain] at the same time."
Adalyn also had no known underlying health issues that would cause or predict such severe illness, according to her parents as well as Thomsen.Adalyn Graviss, who passed away at the age of 7 on Feb. 7, 2022, is seen in an undated family photo.
