Her caption continued, “I don’t know what to do with myself today. I’m heartbreaking, and I’m angry. No child should have to suffer what she did. EB stole it from us. Let’s fight for healing so no other family has to feel this. Thank you for love her with us.”
On Elliana’s funeral service day Hannah shared another video via Tiktok With her child’s dermatologist, Dr. Diana Reusch, who had traveled to attend the funeral.
“Hannah and Jacob knew that Ellie had an eb, but had not yet had clarity about the exact subtype that Ellie had,” said Dr. Reusch in the video. “Ellie was not only in danger of having extensive skin wounds, but also respiratory and nutritional issues.”
Children born with eb are not expected, says Dr. Reusch, live in the past. “Ellie was fighting for her life since the day she was born,” he continued. “There is no way in which Ellie’s parents could have known ahead of time or preventing Ellie’s condition.”
Dr. Reusch there is no “cure for EB at the moment,” saying, “I can’t start telling you how terrible felt to tell Hannah and Jacob there is nothing that Ellie’s parents could have done to change what happened.”
“The encouraging news is that I think hope is on the horizon as gene science and therapy developed,” he continued. “We’re not there yet, but in the coming years I think we can get there.”
