Utah girl shrinking

Utah girl shrinking

Maggie Agnew is a beautiful 10 month old baby girl. Her parents, Michelle and Sean Agnew realized that she was not getting bigger but instead smaller. They took her to the doctors but they had no answers. She was later brought to the Boston Children's Hospital specialists.

“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,“ said Maggie’s father, Sean Agnew.

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, and she has breathing problems.

She is quite the battler and hopefully she can win this one for us. She reportedly has a feeding tube but she continues to burn as many calories and more as she takes them in.
