A 6-year-old girl and active competitive dancer has lost part of her leg as the result of a rare infection. It destroyed most of the muscles and tissues in her left leg below her knee, which is why doctors needed to amputate part of it. "These illnesses manifested into a terrible infection that resulted in the loss of her left leg," the family wrote on a fundraising page set up through YouCaring. Tessa's dance instructor Stacy Kopec, Assistant Director of Center Stage Dance studio in Northfield, Ohio, said the 6-year-old's illness has touched every member of the dance community. Earlier this month, Tessa Puma of Northfield, Ohio, came down with a case of strep throat and she later developed the flu.
