An Indiana family is mourning the unexpected death of a three-year-old girl who died after falling ill with the flu.
It was left to the child’s grandmother, Tameka Stettler, to share the sad news that her granddaughter, three-year-old Alivia R. Viellieux, passed away on Monday morning.
‘I’m sure every one has seen the reports and media that my grandbaby passed away this am from the flu.. I can’t stress to anyine [sic] to be safe,’ Stettler wrote on Facebook just hours later.
Stettler asked that the family, including Alivia’s mother, Aabriey Viellieux, be given the ‘time and space’ as they ‘deal with one of the most painful things a parent or grandparent has to deal with.’
Stettler then posted several sweet photos and the lyrics to ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ as a way of memorializing the three-year-old.
Alivia, who would have turned 4 on March 20, was admitted to the hospital on February 6, where she tested positive for influenza virus Type A, according to WTSP.
The day after being admitted to hospital, Alivia’s mother, Aabriey, noted on her Facebook account that Alivia’s temperature had dropped from 106 degrees to 103.4 degrees and that she was so sick that she needed to wear a diaper because she couldn’t control her bowels properly.
