π PLEASE PRAY FOR BABY ELIANA!! Ellie has been through hard times in her 6 weeks since birth. Her health scares have been a challenge to say the least. Born at 6#s/11z, she was diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Had it not been caught and diagnosed, her lack of T4 hormones at birth would have lead to her brain not developing properly, mental retardation and then death... THANK GOD our amazing doctors caught it when she was 1-2 days old! Immediately, she was placed on meds, but her weight plummeted to 5#s/5z. We were then informed that this sweet little baby girl was completely deaf. She failed 5 different hearing tests, with no brain wave responses to any doctor induced stimulus -or- barking dogs, screaming kids & a smoke detector. In her first 12 days, we had 12 doctors visits and emergency blood tests. Weekly she's been getting blood draws to regulate her hormone levels. 1 pediatrician, 2 audiologist, 2 endocrinologist, & 2 Ear-Nose-Throat children's specials visits! It's been crazy!! ... Not to mention multiple other family ER & doctor visits. SMH π’ We just checked her in for surgery this morning and she tipped the scale at a chunky and healthy 9#s/5z!! β€οΈ. Our amazing docs are taking care of our beautiful baby girl. She will be put to sleep, getting an invasive ear cleaning, removing any and all water behind her ear drums, possible tubes added and an extension hearing test preformed to see what, if anything she can then hear. Full diagnosis will be done and we will have answers/solutions this morning! π³ Please, please keep her in your prayers!! GOD, if it's your will, help these doctors to fix Baby Ellie's hearing problems and continue to stabilize her hormone levels. AMEN!! π βοΈπ€β€οΈ (at Childrens Hospital Wisconsin Milwaukee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkGgD3yu643/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
