Bella went viral online for her vibrant personality as her parents documented her life-threatening health issues which included Hirschsprung’s disease, a rare bowel disease, and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Bella’s death comes just 10 days after she was placed in a medically induced coma after she experienced complications in her lungs from a viral infection. “We are, of course, gutted for Bella. Her bowel transplant last August was supposed to be the last medical trauma she would ever have to endure,” Kyla told People. “We are not out of the woods.” She added, “She sailed through that recovery faster than any child with a bowel transplant has, and finally she could be free of hospital stays.”
Kyla shared a statement to People saying she hopes Bella will continue to make an impact on the world, even now that she is gone. “Everything is hard without her,” Kyla says. “Please help me let the world know I need them to share with us how Bella touched their lives, helped them or how she lives on in their hearts & lives. Don’t ever stop sharing her love and light. Don’t let her memory ever fade. Continue to be brave, be closer to God and love each other fiercely, for her. Though she be but little, she is fierce.”
