On top of the community’s generosity, North Florida Hyperbarics said it has chosen Ayla to be the recipient of the one charity case it takes per year.
But the $12,000 treatment is not covered by insurance, Ayla’s parents said.Ayala Pinkett, 16-months-old, nearly drown in a retention pond in Juneat the Madelyn Oaks Apartments. A resident, who didn’t want to be identified, said they witnessed the officer running to the pond and jumping in to try to save the child. She said a maintenance worker also helped.
“They were able to do like teamwork. She was able to give the baby to the maintenance guy, and now she’s trying to help herself get out of there because she got on her safety gear, her duty belt, stuff like that,” the neighbor said. “She did an amazing job like doing what she could do.”The family said Ayla’s near-drowning resulted in Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, which is a term for brain dysfunction caused by a lack of blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
According to Ayla’s family, doctors didn’t have much hope that Ayla would function normally again and told the family that she may not make it. But Ayala’s parents are encouraged by a 2-year-old from Arkansas who nearly drowned in her family’s swimming pool.Eden had severe brain damage. She couldn’t speak or walk, and her parents were told she’d never be able to again. But after hyperbaric oxygen therapy over several months, her brain damage was reversed.
“Because this little girl has got so much promise and so much life ahead of her,” Ayala’s great aunt, Kisha Whitehurst, said. “She’s not even 2, you know, and she’s there. She wants to be awake.”Whitehurst said when she thinks of Ayala, she thinks of energy.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
