from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

After noticing a weakness on the left side of her face, Tiffany McConathy and her husband Jeremy took their 9 month old daughter Nora to her Pediatrician in September of 2021. Nora's 1st diagnosis was Bell's Palsy. Six weeks later as Nora was feeling worse, Nora went back to the doctor and this time they were going to put tubes in her ears.Tiffany then insisted on an MRI and finally the 3rd of 4th doctor that Tiffany had spoken with agreed to it.What followed was a diagnosis of a very rare Brain and Spinal Cord tumor called ETMR. 5 months later Nora passed away as the doctors decided not to complete the treatment that she needed to at least give her a fighting chance, because Nora had Covid, with her main symptom being sneezing. After Nora passed away Tiffany was denied the opportunity to get a Research Autopsy again because of Covid, even though the CDC did not have a policy that  an autopsy like this could not be performed.Nora will also talk about the Nora's Princess Warrior's Foundation that she and Jeremy started to honor the memory of Nora, which is just in its infancy.
