Born without a nose: This is what Tessa Evans looks like at 10 years old

Tessa Evans, who was born on February 14, 2013, was born without a nose, a rare condition that has sparked admiration and affection from her family and people around the world.

Tessa’s unique condition is known as Bosma Arhinia Microphthalmia Syndrome (BAMS) and there are fewer than 100 documented cases worldwide. Despite the rarity and complexity of her condition, her mother praises Tessa’s “charming” behavior and her “remarkable courage”.

Eight years into her journey, Tessa has become a symbol of resilience. She continues to do well and embrace life to the fullest, despite the challenges presented by her condition, which includes the inability to smell or breathe through her nose.

However, she can still cough, sneeze and catch colds. “It was pretty amusing the first time she sneezed”, recalls her father Nathan, “but we realized it was actually coming from her chest, which was a small but reassuring sign of normality”.

Tessa’s parents, Grainne and Nathan Evans, were stunned when their Valentine’s baby was born without a nose as the pregnancy was uneventful and there were no signs of problems.

A native of Maghera, Ireland, Tessa’s condition required immediate medical intervention. At less than two weeks old, she underwent surgery to insert a tracheostomy tube so she could eat and sleep comfortably.

At just two years old, Tessa achieved a medical milestone when she became the first person to receive a cosmetic nasal implant, marking a significant advance in the field and a remarkable solution to her rare condition.

Walmart Alters Course: Drops Self-Checkout Expansion Amidst Customer Concerns

Shopping often takes longer due to struggIes finding items and lengthy checkout lines. Many retailers, including Walmart, introduced self-checkout lanes to combat these challenges.

Walmart even launched “Scan and Go” technology, aiming to speed up shopping. However, this strategy encountered setbacks. Customers disliked the added responsibilities and missed the human touch. Randy Parraz from Making Change at Walmart noted, “You can’t convince customers to do the job of a cashier just because you don’t want to pay for the work.”

Responding to such feedback, Walmart decided to shift its focus. Instead of expanding automation, it will hire more cashiers to enhance customer service.

This move highIights a renewed commitment to customer satisfaction and interaction. The lesson learned from Walmart’s change in direction is that maintaining a balance between efficiency and positive experiences is crucial for businesses, as the human connection remains pivotal even in an increasingIy automated world.
