Locklynn Boler , 4 , developed severe complications from the flu, including a severe brain injury.

"I just want people to take the flu more seriously," says her father Bradley Boler .

Locklynn was transferred by air ambulance to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus , Ohio , on Feb. 24 .

She was diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, a brain injury marked by muscle spasms.

"If one person sees what I'm talking about and is like, 'Look at their kid,' and like, 'Maybe we need to go to the doctor,' and it saves that kid's life, then I feel like I have [an] obligation to do that," said Boler . "I don't want this to take anybody else's babies.".
