Are Malia & Sasha Obama As Innocent As We Think?

Sasha’s Illness

When Obama’s youngest daughter was only three months old, the Obamas had to face what no parent ever wants. Sasha had a serious case of meningitis. The sickness can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, and in babies, it can be fatal. Obviously, the entire family was affected by the horrifying experience.

In 2012, President Obama discussed the occurrence and said that it was the hardest time in his life. He further talked about remembering when doctors had to do a spinal tap on tiny Sasha. Obama recalled, “Your world narrows to this very small point. There’s one thing you care about and you don’t care about anything else.” Luckily Sasha recovered but what a terrifying experience!
