“We brought up our worries to numerous doctors and nurses during our five-day hospital stay after the birth, including the pediatrician,” Stephanie said to The Daily Mail.
They all claimed her lungs were clear, so she was okay, and that she was simply a vocal baby making typical baby noises.
The mother stated that the baby’s grunting continued and she later experienced additional symptoms, including perspiration and restlessness.
When the infant was approximately six and a half weeks old, during late November, the mother observed that the baby had a “very faint blue color around her mouth” and was not wanting to eat.
The development caused the parents to quickly take their baby to the emergency room, where the doctors appeared surprised that the grunting had been overlooked, explaining that it would be a clear indication of distress and certainly not typical.
“Everything went up from that point,” the mother remarked.
Medical professionals concluded that the infant was suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition affecting the heart muscle that leads to enlarged chambers and reduced efficiency in pumping blood, which may result in heart failure in severe instances, following an examination of the baby’s heart.
The grieving parents were informed that the infant was suffering from severe heart failure and required a transplant to stay alive.
Physicians informed the parents that Sloane’s heart “is barely functioning” and she was promptly taken to the PICU, where she was sedated and placed on a ventilator. Sloane is currently ranked 193rd on the transplant list and continues to receive treatment in the hospital.
“How do you even start to cope other than clinging to every bit of hope? Our girl will be fine. She has to be. Her life will be long, rich, and wonderful. We believe it,” Stephanie wrote in aGoFundMeto cover the baby’s medical expenses. “This will be her story to share someday.”
Every time we encounter specific nurses and doctors, we hold our breath, hoping it’s Sloane’s turn. We know it will arrive… it could happen today or maybe a year from now,” the mother wrote. “One day, it WILL occur.
