Doctors are mystified by the case of 10-month-old Utah infant Maggie Agnew. Somehow, despite even being given a feeding tube, Maggie is literally shrinking, and she now weighs only 10 pounds 6 ounces, and is visibly very thin.
Maggie has other problems:
- She was born with three holes in her heart, although two have now sealed.
- Her esophagus is the size of a premature infant
- She has breathing problems
Maggie’s father, Sean Agnew said:
"So, she’s getting plenty of calories, but her body is burning all the calories that she is getting, and they don’t where it’s going to."
This is probably one of those very, very strange diseases that appear on shows like Mystery Dianosis and the like.
Neighbors and family have rallied around Maggie Agnew; there is a Salt Lake City fundraiser planned May 15 - 16, a yard and bank sale. For more information on that, contact Sara Boss at (801) 463-6612. The sale runs 1-7 PM Friday and 9 AM -3 PM Saturday.
There is also an account set up under Maggie Agnew's name at the America First Credit Union, 3190 S. 1300 East in Salt Lake City.
