Elliana was born August 2nd 2019 shortly after she was born the doctros had told me someithing was wrong with her but not sure exactly was wrong with her they said she had low musctle tone and she didnt have very good suction. As she was in the nicu for 2 weeks we had done a genetic testing where we found out that she has a rare disease called sptan1. There is less then 100 people in the whole world with this disease so its a learnig experiment for everyone. This genectic causes epilepsy, mental retardation and even death. Elliana is on the severe end of the spectrum we just found out that her brain is deteroating she has tonic seizures, blind, can't talk, walk, roll, crawl, she pretty much sleeps 90% of the day. She goes to physical, occupational, developmental, aquatic, speech, eye therapy. Her doctor in chicago says just give her the best quality of life so thats all were trying to do at this time. All proceeds will go to help with gas to and from therapies and appointments as well as bills and other thing when the time comes. 

I made this because I have had several people ask me if I had one.

LONG POST. MY GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION SUCK HAHA. BUT WRITING THIS THE BEST I CAN. 

 

So after 2 months I finally got to talk to elliana's doctor and go over her MRI results. Elliana's seizures have been getting bigger and lasting longer. So I had so many questions and wanted them answered and told them I'm not waiting til her November appointment to figure this all out. At this point the doctor said we can try anything for her at this point to try to maximize her quality of life. We are winging her off one of her medications and upping her other medications to try and help with her seizures. I want to try the CBD but I don't want to try it at the same time of us decreasing some and increasing because how would we know what's working? She is trying to get her more alert she said to give her a better quality of life. She said her brain is shrinking everywhere throughout her head. I just finally started working a month ago I feel I need to quit again and spend as much time as possible with Elliana. Elliana's nurse then asked me the hardest question I never thought I would have to answer is she a DNR? When I first started a home nurse I said yes but after finding out how serious she is I have decided she is probably going through enough now I don't want to put her through that. Here is what the doctor write in her after report notes 

Reviewed head MRI report which showed progressive advanced atrophy. Progressive atrophy can be seen in SPTAN1 mutations. Patients with severe neurodevelopmental outcomes and progressive atrophy associated with SPTAN1 can heave early mortality including SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). I'm a hot mess right now I don't know why this had to happen to us. I'm not over my brother yet at all. It has been bothering me bad this last month. I'm hurt, sad, confused I don't know how anyone can prepare for this or what to do. If anyone has any suggestions on how to handle this please let me know. Everyone know my anxiety is all ready threw the roof and I already have a fear of dying and thinking about it so I have so much going on in my little brain. Lbs.
