Doctors checked her oxygen levels shortly after she went to the emergency room at Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital and discovered they were dangerously low. They immediately admitted her and put her on an oxygen machine. The experience was heartbreaking for her family. Vasquez was getting daily phone calls with updates on her condition. Taylor's family couldn’t go into her hospital room because she was so sick; they could only see her through a window or over video.
She learned the full weight of what she’d missed soon after she woke from the coma. Her grandparents, who she’d been close to her whole life, both contracted the coronavirus shortly after she entered the coma. She was still unconscious when they died soon after.
