RABIES SURVIVOR COMES HOME

AFTER 53 DAYS, LITTLE PRECIOUS REYNOLDS IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND BACK AT HOME AFTER SURVIVING RABIES.
HER GRANDPARENTS, SHIRLEY AND JACK ROBY, SAID "WHEN THEY GIVE YOU A PERCENTAGE THAT’S AS LOW AS IT WAS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS THINK POSITIVE AND MAKE SURE SHE MADE IT."
8-YEAR OLD PRECIOUS HAD A 5 PERCENT CHANCE OF LIVING. SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RABIES AND THE DISEASE RAVENOUSLY ATTACKED HER NERVOUS SYSTEM UNTIL SHE COULDNT MOVE… SHE WAS HOURS FROM DEATH.
THAT WAS 53 DAYS AGO, AND TODAY PRECIOUS IS A NORMAL KID AGAIN.
PRECIOUS SAID "I WAS ASLEEP THE WHOLE TIME."
WHAT STARTED OUT LOOKING LIKE THE FLU TURNED INTO AN EMERGENCY FOR PRECIOUS AND HER GRANDPARENTS.
"THEY IMMEDIATELY PUT HER ON FULL LIFE SUPPORT"
"HAD WE HADN'T KEPT THINKING IT WAS THE FLU AND WOULD HAVE KEPT HER HOME UNTIL THE NEXT.. SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT SHE WOULD HAVE DIED DURING THE NIGHT."
SHES ONLY THE 8TH PERSON IN THE WORLD TO SURVIVE RABIES.
AND THIS LITTLE GIRL HAS GOT SPUNK. SHE WAS BORN WITH A HEART CONDITION THAT SHE TAKES MEDICINE FOR... AND THEN TO FIGHT FOR HER LIFE...
"IM SPECIAL THAT I GET TO GO HOME," PRECIOUS SAID.
SHES STILL LIPMING A BIT AND WEARS A BRACE ON HER FOOT
"MY SISTER HOLDS MY HAND... BUT I CAN WALK BY MYSELF"
BUT SHE'S GOT A GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM TO LEAN ON.
HER 11 YEAR OLD SISTER MARIA SAID OF HER HOMECOMING, "WE’RE GLAD THAT SHES HOME AND THAT SHE SURVIVED."
