SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In 2022, Sacramento mom Monica Padilla noticed her three-year-old daughter Vera wasn’t acting like herself. She was sleeping often, had bruising and wasn’t interested in eating.

Padilla assumed it was a virus, but when the rest of the family wasn’t getting sick they called Vera’s doctor.

Her doctor agreed and said it could be a delay in infection. Regardless, Padilla was told not to worry. When the symptoms didn’t let up, she decided to take Vera to the emergency room.
