Devon Still’s memory of explaining the situation to his daughter is heartbreaking.

“There was one point that stuck out to me. She was crying and I remember her looking at me, and said to me, ‘Dad this is all your fault. You shoulda never brought me to the hospital.’”

“I broke down crying because I didn’t know what to say.”
