For her birthday on Monday, the Dayton Children’s staff sang to her and gave her a doll.
Brooklynn’s parents, Joshua and Ki’asha Diggs, told us she has a history of severe allergies and asthma, and is highly allergic to wheat, fish, nuts, eggs and dairy.
Last year on her eighth birthday, Brooklynn also was hospitalized after an acute allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) due to a Twizzler, which contains wheat.
Brooklynn is doing well and is on her way to a full recovery.
