Fourteen-year-old Zoey Komninos was placed in an induced coma on a ventilator after contracting the CCP virus. But the teen, who also suffers from cerebral palsy, is now doing better.

Zoey was admitted to Hackensack University Medical Center’s pediatric intensive care unit in New Jersey in mid-March 2020 after she experienced an elevated temperature. Her mother, 47-year-old Melanie Ollick Komninos, never left her side.
