Paramedics called to the home told Avigail's mother, Carmen Villalobos, and her father that she was fine. Although doctors at a Tijuana emergency room said the same, her father said, Avigail started vomiting uncontrollably and he rushed her to a hospital near his home in Chula Vista for a second opinion.Avigail was transferred to UC San Diego Medical Center, her family said, where they learned she had suffered a brain injury she wouldn’t survive.
For days after Avigail’s fall, Carmen was unsure if she would be able to see her daughter to say goodbye. Carmen said she wanted to touch Avigail’s hands, her face, to tell her she loved her and that she was her life.
