Maíra Cardi Says 6-Month-Old Daughter Is Hospitalized With Bronchiolitis in the U.S.

Her posts describe the strain of seeking care for an infant far from Brazil.

Overview

  • Cardi returned to Instagram late Sunday to ask for prayers for Eloah, saying the six-month-old was hospitalized in the United States.
  • She said lab tests indicated the virus that causes bronchiolitis and that her baby remains under medical care with no further clinical details shared.
  • According to her account, both daughters developed flu-like symptoms during a trip and the younger worsened, which led the family to seek hospital treatment.
  • Cardi described feeling vulnerable away from trusted doctors and her language, and followers responded with messages of support and growing prayer chains.
  • Brazil’s Health Ministry explains bronchiolitis is a viral infection of the small airways in infants and care focuses on hydration, oxygen if needed, and relief of symptoms.
