This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Eli Krejci who was born in Birmingham, Alabama on February 16, 2005. He was born with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Eli was perfect other than this birth defect. He has his hernia repair about 10 days after he was born, which included using a gortex patch to cover the hole in his diaphragm. He was progressing well when at the beginning of April his feeding tube punctured his intestine and this meant another surgery. Yet again, Eli recovered and was weaned off the ventilator. There was talk of bottle feeding soon and even going home to Biloxi, MS. We were so excited and our daughter Caitlin who was 3 at the time couldn't wait to "play" with her baby Eli. In early June Eli was having reflux issues and aspirated. Some of the formula made its way to his lungs and pneumonia followed. He was on ECMO, which is a heart/lung bypass machine, for 3 weeks. The hope was that if his lungs had a chance to rest they could recover. He was taken off ECMO around the end of June and we prayed that he could once again overcome a fierce fight. We lost Eli on July 6, this battle proved to be to much for our little superman. We miss him so very much, especially his Sissy but we know that we have a perfect angel looking out for us and we can't wait to see him and hold him and give him lots of hugs and big sugars again someday!!
