Eliane Leonie, born on November 14, 2019, continues to inspire people across the globe with her extraordinary courage and zest for life. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with the rare condition of Neo-natal Progeria shortly after her birth, which accelerates the aging process in young individuals.
Her mother chronicled the journey from pregnancy to the infant’s final moments on Instagram, and the reader feels terrible reading it. Eliane’s heart is abnormally huge, and her tummy is much smaller than typical. Her mother was admitted to the hospital throughout her pregnancy at 28 weeks. Eliane did not appear to be growing older, and her heart briefly stopped beating during an examination ultrasound before starting to beat quickly again.
As soon as this happened, the doctor decided to perform an emergency Eliane C-section. Eliane was born on November 14, 2019, at 16:26, weighing 1200 kilos and measuring 38 centimeters long. Eliane is physically handicapped and unable to grow. She also has digestive and cardiac muscle issues. Even after extensive research, doctors were unable to determine the cause of Eliane’s unusual genetic abnormality.
Children with progeria often live to be around 13 years old. Others may survive longer, perhaps into their 20s, while others may pass away sooner. Eliane finds it very challenging to eat and drink due to her condition. Despite all of this, her bravery and zest for life continue to inspire people all over the world.
