Agnes Velasquez, mom to 15-year-old Paulina, is also battling COVID, but has milder symptoms after getting vaccinated.
Agnes Velasquez has been sleeping on the couch in her 15-year-old daughter Paulina's ICU room at Broward Health Medical Center, she told CNN in a video chat.
When Paulina first got sick, the teen told her mother she couldn't breath, Velasquez told CNN.
Velasquez told CNN she is getting her sons vaccinated soon — a wish her daughter made once she fell ill?
Velasquez, whose birthday occurred while she's been at the hospital with Paulina, told the outlet her daughter has been steadily making improvements and said there is hope of taking her off the ventilator.
On Tuesday, the CDC updated its nationwide mask guidance, saying that in areas where COVID-19 is surging, all people — even those who have been fully vaccinated — should wear masks indoors.
