By the time, they reached the hospital, SibiKaia was calm. At the hospital, she just shut her eye and opened it, when the bug fell out of her eye on the floor. Talking about the scary experience, her mom told a report, "My reaction, the nurse’s reaction and the doctor’s initial reaction was just this full-body shudder."

The doctors gave her some antibiotics to prevent infection. SibiKaia was more interested in knowing what was the thing in her eye. Kris said, "SibiKaia asked if she could see it, so I lowered it down to her and she just said 'Hello, Todd'." Meanwhile, she was in a panic attack situation with all that happened.
