Our little Eleanor was born prematurely, at 28 weeks, due to severe preeclampsia. Because of the severity of the preeclampsia and birth trauma, she endured life-saving measures from the first breath of life. She spent 4 months in the NICU. When she arrived home, she began having seizure and infantile spasms, a very dangerous type of seizure that can cause brain injury. Unfortunately, she continued fighting with her severe epilepsy and many other medical complications. One week before her first birthday, she passed away from an infection she acquired in the brain due to a surgery 2.5 weeks prior. In her 11.75 months of life, she endured 8 grueling surgeries. The 8th was too much and she acquired the infection. The 9th was to remove the infected shunt in her head, but due to the infection being to advanced, she gained her heavenly pass to see Our Father. We always say, we’re lucky to have a daughter here on Earth, and another in heaven watching over us.
Daughter of Mi & Liz
