Eleazar’s Diagnosis
Eleazar has been diagnosed with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy and Epilepsy. According to the National Institute of Health, Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a broad term for a brain injury before, during, or shortly after birth when oxygen or blood flow to the brain is reduced or stopped. In addition to the brain, HIE can impact other organs such as the heart, lungs, kidney, or liver.
