A mom has shared heart-wrenching photos of her two-month-old daughter who is being hospitalized after contracting coronavirus.

The distressed mother also warned parents worldwide not to ignore the risk of infection in their children in her Facebook post.

Sharing the ordeal of her little girl named Ellie, Ashley Hildebrand wrote: “Soooo… Ellie has tested positive for COVID 19.

“Me and Sean have to self quarantine for two weeks without her. Please keep our family in your prayers during this difficult time.”

Even though Ashley has none of the symptoms of the deadly disease, she said she will have it too. “Since my daughter has it, it’s almost impossible that I DON’T have it as well,” the mom from South Carolina said.

“I have had no symptoms and still don’t. I will be going into self quarantine for 11-14 days.

“We aren’t sure if my quarantine technically started on Friday or not since I’ve been in quarantine with her since she was admitted.

“Sooooo, if I’ve seen you in the last 2 weeks, definitely get tested if you start showing any symptoms.”

After Ashley’s social media post went viral, netizens were anxious to know the symptoms and current condition of the adorable baby.

In reply to them, Ashley wrote another lengthy note, saying: “She actually didn’t really have any symptoms beforehand.

“She was a little wheezy on and off for a few days, nothing alarming at all. And her lungs sounded fine Tuesday at her two month check-up.”

She added: “On Friday morning she had a bottle and was doing tummy time.

“She rolled over and she seemed very constipated. Then she screamed for a few minutes and then she stopped screaming and crying and stopped breathing efficiently.

“We called 911, when the ambulance got there her oxygen was at 58. While in the hospital she actually got hypothermic and they said that small babies will sometimes get cold instead of a fever.”

Ashley said that the doctors weren’t expecting the child to have coronavirus, but they decided to take tests and be on the ‘safe side’.

She said: “Honestly none of the doctors or nurses thought she was gonna come back positive because the symptoms did not add up.”

Ashley defied the idea presented by the people that Ellie could have contracted the virus due to her vaccination.

She said: “We are looking into filing a VAERS [post-vaccination] report simply because it DID happen after her shots and I DO feel that it is worth having on file, but no this did not happen solely due to vaccines, IF they even had anything to do with it at all to begin with.

“We will also discuss further vaccines with her paediatrician. I do not need any anti-vaxxers coming at me or trying to use my child for their agendas.”

Thankfully, there is some good news too.

Ashley revealed that the young baby is improving, saying: “They are starting to wean her off the ventilator and it should be all the way out in 1-2 more days.

“Then once we are confident in her breathing on her own, they will remove the NG tube and start her on bottles.”

She added: “Once she is used to taking bottles again and is eating good we will be allowed to bring her home to stay with us for the remainder of our quarantine.”
