Justin Lee Francis, 3, plays with a Spider-Man toy Jan. 26, 2022 at Primary Children's Hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU for COVID-19 and other illnesses. His mother, Yvonne Francis, says Justin Lee was confused after being sedated and on a ventilator for about a week. When he received the Spider-Man toy for comfort after an unpleasant breathing treatment, he became agitated when he was unable to reconcile his happiness about the toy with his unhappiness over the treatment.
Justin Lee will have to continue physical, occupational and speech therapy for weeks, and possibly months, Francis said. Francis said her family has received an outpouring of love and support from strangers as Justin Lee’s story circulated online. The family has received hundreds of donations, which Francis says she hopes will cover out-of-pocket costs for Justin Lee’s hospital care, and now new hospital bills for herself and Teagan.
