Confusion surrounding the condition of Rachel Tussey, a woman who suffered severe complications following a cosmetic “mommy makeover” procedure, has spread across social media in recent days. Despite reports circulating nationally claiming she has passed away, Tussey is still alive and currently receiving hospice care.

According to those close to the family, Tussey was declared brain dead and was removed from life support on March 5. However, she continues to remain alive while under hospice care, as her loved ones stay by her side during this incredibly difficult time.

Friends and family members have been working to correct misinformation online after several outlets and social media posts incorrectly reported her death. Some of the confusion also appears to stem from messaging on a fundraising page that led many readers to believe she had already passed.

Those close to Tussey are asking the public to keep her and her loved ones in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate an emotional and uncertain situation. Supporters continue to hold onto faith and hope while respecting the gravity of her condition.

The situation has become a powerful reminder for many about the unpredictability of medical outcomes. While doctors may give grim prognoses, families often cling to hope and the possibility—however small—of unexpected outcomes. For now, Rachel Tussey remains surrounded by loved ones as they continue to pray and support one another through an unimaginable ordeal. 🙏
