'Superhero' Mom of 9-Year-Old Triplets Dies from COVID-19 After Second Hospitalization


Three little girls have been left without their mother after she died following a "valiant" battle with coronavirus.

AnaLise Long was in the hospital for the second time when she died from complications due to COVID-19 on June 25, according to NBC affiliate KXAS.

The 47-year-old mother of triplets, who had underlying health conditions, had been battling the virus for two months and had even made a brief recovery before her tragic death, the outlet reports.

"She had fought valiantly as long as she could, as hard as she could, but her body wasn’t in a position to ever fully recover for contracting the virus and the impact that had on her other health conditions," Long's brother, Zak Cernoch, told KXAS.

Long's battle with the illness began on April 21, according to a GoFundMe page set up by her cousin on behalf of Long's husband Don "Bubba" and their 9-year-old daughters, Molly, Zoey and Kate.

At the time, the stay-at-home mom had experienced a "fainting spell" and went to a Texas hospital where she was diagnosed with COVID-19 and later was intubated, Cernoch told KXAS.

The virus took a major toll on Long due to her underlying health conditions, which included having diabetes and surviving spinal meningitis, according to the outlet.

Despite that, Long managed to make a recovery and was discharged from the hospital.

"She was actually able to get off the ventilator sooner than they anticipated initially,” Cernoch recalled to KXAS.

Because she needed to learn how to walk again, the Dallas mother was admitted to a rehabilitation hospital but was only there for a short time before facing another major setback in her health.

This time, her kidneys and liver were beginning to fail, which sent Long back into the hospital and onto a ventilator.

By June 25 — just two months after she initially was diagnosed with COVID-19 — Bubba and their three girls were called in to say one last goodbye to their beloved wife and mother.

"Even though she had some health issues, AnaLise was always a fighter and she was always going to try to beat the odds," Cernoch told KXAS. "Being a mother was the most important thing in her life."

Just so sad that this lady is gone at 47 years old. And I concur she is indeed a "Superhero" as she raised triplets. (note: I had twin girls that tough so much energy)

AnaLise was featured on Nicole Wallace's show this afternoon.

1. I am heartbroken for kids and her family. I am really cranky today. I have immense anger for all

these assholes that won't wear masks, think this is a hoax, out there partying on beaches and other public spaces, gathering in huge numbers in churches. How did this country get so fucking stupid?
I went to Huffpost yesterday and I was so disgusted I got off the internet

The headlines read - GA GOV suing ATL Mayor to stop Mask Mandate
Evangelists suing CA Gov due to ban placed on singing in churches
other things I was reading Peter Navarro trashing Dr. Navarro -
How did we get so damn so stupid. I am just very angry today. So much loss. So much devastation and tragedy because we are being over run with stupidity.

2. What a shame. Very sad. 😢

Good folks dying all around us, and that SOB is still alive and kicking. Ugh 😩

5. That is what makes me angrier than anything.

There are so many people who are dying who don't deserve to. And there are so many politicans and bastards in the Trump administration who absolutely deserve to die of this who aren't.

And they aren't taking precautions, and they aren't living healthy lifestyles. I want to know why they are still alive. Or at least not hospitalized. What is going on here?
