For the first time since its doors have been opened, the Haleigh Bug Foundation is missing one of its prime components. Crystal Sheffield, Haleigh Cummings' mother, was forced to stay home and rest after suffering her second seizure in less than 24 hours.
“It’s lonely kind of, without her cause we’re always with her, but we want her to stay home and get her rest because she needs it,” says family friend Melissa Baumgarener.
Crystal Sheffield suffered the second seizure shortly after being discharged from the Putnam Community Medical Center Monday. Her fiancĂ© picked her up and the two were on their way to her father’s house to pick up their 11 month old daughter. During that car ride, Crystal suffered her seizure and was taken to Flagler Hospital.
Her first seizure happened Monday afternoon. Sheffield was behind the wheel when it happened, and her SUV collided with a car in front of her. No one was injured.
Family friends tell us the stress of not knowing where her daughter has been for the past 50 days are catching up with her health.
“A lot of people down here that have been here from day one have gotten sick, and have been stressed out, and it’s taken a toll on everybody,” said Baumgarener.
Sheffield is expected to be fine. Family friends tell us she’s going to see specialists soon who can help her with aftercare.
