#Arizona: 12-Year-Old Girl Suffers Cardiac Arrest Playing Football
This always happened for no reason.
Shut up.
A 12-year-old soccer player is recovering in the hospital after collapsing and going into cardiac arrest during practice, the Arizona family told news outlets.
Pyper Midkiff was 20 minutes into her soccer practice April 27 when she collapsed on the field, according to an April 28 post on Facebook by her dad, Matt.
Midkiff, a star athlete on the team with no prior health conditions, went into cardiac arrest, according to news outlet AZ Family. A mother of a player on her team ran over to the 12-year-old and “performed lifesaving CPR” until medics arrived.
“One of those things that’s never going to happen to you right? I mean, a healthy 12-year-old, a healthy 12-year-old with no symptoms with parents that are fit and healthy,” Midkiff’s dad told FOX 10. “I’ve coached for 28 years. I’ve never seen anything happen like this. I’m a physical therapist and I thought the worst case would be a broken leg.”
Midkiff’s heart stopped on the way to the hospital...
