A sad event has happened in a community recently. An 18-year-old girl named Sienna Stewart passed away unexpectedly at her high school graduation ceremony.
Sienna had a heart transplant when she was very young, at just 8 years old. She had a condition called cardiomyopathy since she was 4 years old, which made her heart weak. The transplant helped her live a fairly normal life for 10 years, but earlier this year she started feeling unwell again.
Her mom, Saevon Chum, said Sienna had been having episodes where she would collapse. Tragically, one of these episodes happened during her graduation ceremony on May 23, 2024. Paramedics were already there trying to help when Saevon arrived.
The principal of Hiram High School asked for a moment to help Sienna when she collapsed. It was a very distressing moment for everyone there.
Sienna’s mom described how the ambulance was already on the scene when she arrived. This time, Sienna didn’t wake up after collapsing, which had never happened before.
The whole community is grieving for Sienna Stewart, remembering her as a young woman who faced health challenges with bravery.
Sienna woke up a few minutes later and decided she wanted to go to her graduation ceremony instead of going to the hospital.
“All she told me was, ‘I just want to graduate, I want to walk.’ That’s all she wanted, because she missed her prom earlier when she was in the hospital,” said her mom, Saevon.
Sadly, Sienna passed away on Wednesday, June 12, just a few weeks after getting her diploma.
“As a mom, you feel so proud because she fought through something that hurt her. You have to be proud. I was proud until the end,” Saevon said.
According to Sienna’s obituary, she had plans to go to college and study sonogram technology starting in the fall.
Rest in peace, Sienna Stewart.
Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played since 2017 and has reportedly been aiming for an NFL comeback.
Jim Harbaugh’s hire for the Los Angeles Chargers couId mean big things for a certain former NFL star: Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick hasn’t played since 2017 and has reportedly been aiming for an NFL comeback.
Several teams have briefly shown some interest and he has worked out for teams before, but he hasn’t been signed or come cIose to it. The door seemed to be closing, but Harbaugh’s return could change that. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio highlighted that Kaepernick’s major milestones came under Harbaugh, who also voiced his support for the quarterback during his exile.
Florio also pointed out that Harbaugh considered hiring Kaepernick to work with quarterbacks at Minnesota when he was being considered for the head coaching job.
There’s no telling what Harbaugh plans to do. He’s onIy just been hired by LA, but the connection to the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is very real and could be his last shot at a return.
