“Kenzie complained of a very severe headache, and then they took her temperature and she had a fever,” she said.
After taking her to Brooke Army Medical Center, doctors tested her for flu, strep and Covid; only the last one came up positive.
‘The doctors told my sister-in-law that she should take her home and make her comfortable, to monitor her fever, and whether it would overcome a certain point, or if there were other major problems, to continue and her to bring back to the hospital, ”another aunt Erica Gongora told Today.
“There was no difficulty breathing or anything like that at that point.”
Makenzie had no underlying health issues that the family knew about; Besides being a little small for her age, she was in perfect health.
The family watched her closely throughout the weekend, where her symptoms subsided and flowed, but never became more severe.
But on Monday, February 1, Makenzie told her parents she felt really tired and went to bed early.
She never woke up.

“My sister-in-law checked on her later that night and realized she could no longer breathe and could not find a pulse,” Gongora recalls.
Makenzie’s father, Nathan, is an Army veteran, and her mother Kristle is a front-line medical worker. The day of her death, both her father and her 8-year-old sister also tested positive for Covid.
The family is now awaiting an autopsy to see how a major role coronavirus played in her death.
“Hopefully this will give us the answer as to whether it is entirely related to Covid, or exacerbated by Covid or having nothing to do with Covid,” Southworth added.
A GoFundMe to help the family has more than doubled its $ 30,000 target.
“Makenzie was 9 years old and in 4th grade. Gentle, gentle, sweet and loving to everyone she has ever met,” it is described.
“We suspect it is related to COVID as we can not find out what could have caused it otherwise but will not know until we receive the report from the medical examiner.”
