In June, we talked with two immunocompromised families who were concerned that Oregon was reopening too soon. 15-year-old Kira Bailey survived leukemia in February but now has to stay extra careful to protect herself from the virus. Michelle Fullington’s 17-year-old daughter, also named Kira, requires complex 24/7 medical care. We check back in with Bailey, her mother Sara Bailey, and Fullington to hear how they are doing as Oregon grapples with another wave of COVID-19.
