And so the parents went around the apartment, closing down all the windows, allowing the air conditioning to kick back on and cool the apartment down. But about an hour later, after the apartment had cooled back down, the baby was still very fussy. And at this point, Umar and Samira were trying to put the baby to bed, and they were really struggling with that.

And also, in addition to the baby obviously not feeling very well, Umar and Samira both began to complain that they had headaches. And so at this point, the parents assumed that, you know what, all of this, you know, the baby's behavior and now our headaches must be tied to just the travel we just went through, and we just need a day to recover here.

And so they kind of rushed their baby through her bedtime routine and eventually got her down. And then Umar and Samira took some ibuprofen to help with their headaches. And then they too climbed in bed and drifted off to sleep, hoping that when they woke up, everybody would feel better again. But the next morning, nobody was better. In fact, everybody was doing worse.

Umar's headache had now gotten much stronger, and Samira, she still had a headache, but also was very lethargic, and the baby was still very fussy. And over the next few days, their symptoms continued to get worse and worse. Umar's headache went from really bad to pretty much blinding, like he couldn't do anything else but think about his headache, and Samira basically had to lay down all day.

It was like no matter how much she slept, she had zero energy, and their poor baby just continued to cry and fuss all the time, and even began to vomit. And so it seemed pretty obvious by this point, after a few days, that the three of them must have caught some sort of bug while they were traveling. That this was not just jet lag, that they actually had some sort of illness.

That morning when Umar went to his daughter's bedroom, you know, he's still dealing with this horrible headache. You know, he makes his way into the bedroom and he goes down to pick his daughter up from her crib. And as he's reaching down to grab her, he freezes because on the bed, on the pillow right behind the baby is all the baby's hair. The baby had clearly lost huge chunks of her hair.
