  • 3 years ago
A Calgary baby is recovering at home after becoming one of Canada's youngest COVID-19 patients. Nora Forrest was a full-term, healthy baby when she was born on Nov. 22. Her parents took Nora to the Alberta Children’s Hospital when she came down with a fever on the night of Nov. 27, at five days old. In the emergency room, doctors were debating whether to move Nora into intensive care or a regular ward. “Suddenly everything changed because nurses got really nervous and they started talking quicker to each other,” said Alaf-Forrest. After about three or four days, Nora improved, though she was fussy. After a week, she was calmer and able to sleep. Heather Yourex-West has her story
