Grayson Bakes is fighting for her life on a ventilator after she caught COVID from someone at work who didn't wear a mask.
"The breathing started getting worse, it just got harder to breathe and then she just couldn't eat, there was nothing she could do to get comfortable. Sitting up...laying down...it was just awful," she said.
Grayson Bakes was in her third trimester when she fell ill, and doctors performed an emergency C-section as she became weaker. The new mother's prospects are still unclear, according to her family. Jenny Bakes said:"It's devastating to think in terms of 'is she going to survive?' as opposed to 'OK, it's going to take her this long to get well' because we're not there yet.
"So I will continue to spread our message here....please get vaccinated if you are able and wear a mask! You could literally save a life!" she said.On August 11, the CDC updated its guidance on pregnant women and the COVID vaccine, stating that the shot is recommended for all people aged 12 years and over, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant or who may become pregnant in the future.
