5-Year-Old’s COVID Saga Has Florida Mom Saying Hell No to In-Person School
MIAMI—On July 7, for the third time in 10 days, 5-year-old Marcellus Baltazar had to go to the emergency room.
Only three days had passed since the boy’s parents brought him home after he received intravenous fluids at Raulerson Hospital—a small, 100-bed medical center in the Florida agricultural town of Okeechobee—because he had not been eating.
During that span, Marcellus, his dad Miguel Baltazar, his mom Kristen Polacik and his baby sister all tested positive for COVID-19. For the most part, they exhibited mild symptoms associated with the disease, like runny noses and fatigue.
