(I've posted it before here on YT; but here is a long-short story)
She had a genetic malformation of her soft palate. Her soft palate was too short so most of the food she ate went into her nose and lungs. This created infections and she was malnourished. She was on antibiotics, aerosol and shortly before her death she only weighed 3.5 lbs. Her weight was 5 lbs. before she began getting sick at 5 months old. She had an experimental costly surgery to lengthen her soft palate. After her surgery it seemed to work, she looked and was getting better. Within a week once again got sick, lost more weight and when re-examined the tissue that was attached had died. We ran out of options, the specialist told us that the only humane thing was to put her to sleep that she could NOT live that way. Painfully we had to make that decision, which still haunts us, even though it was the right one. She is in Heaven and healthy, waiting for us.
