The story of Tessa Marie

My daughter Tessa Marie was taking from her family and my self after a very short illness, it lasted 7 days. She woke up on a Monday feeling sick by Wednesday was seen at LMH for they said the flu. Thrusday FMC admitted her to the ICU. 2 hours later she was on a ventilator. She died at 1042 am Sunday February 09.2020 . I thought her death certificate would simply say cause of death was influenza B. It said so much more . Her direct cause of death was ards. We’d never heard that before then. As I researched this condition I have found very little resources in Ohio on it. However I found it is listed on a list published by Nord as a rare condition. On October 1,2022 we held a benefit and fundraiser in honor of Tessa Marie. It was called Tessa Marie’s Cause for a cure ards awareness fundraiser and memorial ride. It didn’t turn it as I had hoped but that’s ok I’ll keep trying. No one should die from something there is little known about or from something that a cure can be found for. I believe OSU doctors did everything in there power to save my daughter. I also believe Dr Joshua Englert will find the cure for this rare condition. I have hope for others and believe with awareness more people can survive it. Today we have to wedpages you can visit for Tessa Marie’s Cause.
