“They did testing on everything, her heart, her lungs,” Messer told her sister, Victoria, about the series of tests Aliannah underwent after complaining about shortness of breath. “She does have allergies that are restricting her airways and causing asthma.”
In another episode ofTeen Mom 2in 2017, Messer received a phone call from Aliannah’s father and her ex,Corey Simmons, saying he was taking their daughter to the hospital.
“The reason I am calling is because Ali is having a hard time catching her breath and I think I need to take to her to the emergency room because she says she couldn’t breathe,” he said. “She’s fine … I think it’s a little scarier for us. But we’d rather be safe than sorry.”
Besides struggling with her breathing, Aliannah’s teachers notified Messer at the time of her constant falls while walking at school, while Aliannah complained about her difficulties opening her food during lunchtime and not having enough time to eat a full meal.
“I’m fighting for Ali — I’m going to do everything that she needs done,” she said. “We wanted her to be independent, and at the same time things are becoming progressive.”
