Yeah, a trip to Cancun really did turn into a
nightmare for a local group of college students after two
of those girls were sitting at the resort bar when
they
suddenly got sick. Now their family thinks that they could
have been drugged.
And while the group is now all back here in
the United States,
one of those girls is still hospitalized five days later.
The last thing they remember was they had asked for
a glass of water.
The beach vacation in Mexico took a turn for the
worst for a group of young couples.
Their heads went down, they slumped over on the bar.
2 girls in their early 20s.
Zara and Kaylee suddenly got sick.
Zara started having some jerking movements.
The family says Zara was rushed to the hospital Friday
night after doctors thought she was having a seizure.
But after days of treatment and no improvements,
her body is just so overloaded for organs,
everything. It was going to take a while for her
liver and everything to just detox this out of her
body.
The family says the United States Embassy advised them to
get.
To the US, as soon as they could for more
care,
Sarah was metaflighted to a hospital in Dallas,
where family and friends say they're hoping they can get
some answers.
We don't have a toxicology report from Mexico.
They said they ran one.
We don't have it now.
Doctors have run multiple tests.
We have all come to the realization that we probably
aren't going to get any answers.
We're just dealing with what we have now.
And the family says they're left with thousands in medical
bills.
We have spent upwards of over $50,000 in desperate need
to get her back.
Plus, they say physical recovery isn't the only battle these
girls are facing.
Kaylee is doing better physically.
Emotionally, she's not. When it happens to you,
it's the scariest thing ever.
Yeah, and that group of local college students,
as well as their family and friends are just hoping
to get some answers.
Now, Zara still is in the hospital.
The family has set up a Go Fund me for
anyone who wants to help donate.
