Eliana Strong

Dear Family and Friends I am Eliana Hadassah Padilla I was born on June 25th 2019 at 2:05 pm in El Paso Tx. I was supposed to go to sleep right after birth but I fought for almost 6 months with my mom by my side day and night. I was diagnosed with a really critical and terminal heart disease usually defined as CHD. I was diagnose with a complete heart block, Transposition of The Great Arteries (TGA), Double Inlet Left Ventricle (DILV), Coarctation of the Aorta, Ventricular septal defect (VSD) and with that, many more complications came along. I am a Jehovah witness Baby my mom loves Jehovah and we know how important and precious blood is for him and he commands in the Bible to abstain ourselves from blood in Leviticus 17:14. In El Paso Tx doctors refused to help mommy and I was sent home right after birth to die in peace in mommies arms. I was home 4 days I survived 4 days and thanks to our brothers from our congregation and the Hospital Liaison Committee we made it to San Antonio where we found a team of Doctors and a surgeon that wanted to help me and cure my heart without blood transfusions. I made it to San Antonio on June 29th, and since then I didn’t get to leave The Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio. I went thru 2 heart surgeries and a G-tube procedure. I didn’t make it to my next big heart surgery... on day 170 of my journey Jehovah decided to put me to sleep. I was tired and I suffering so much. My kidneys, my liver and gut shutdown they couldn’t make it anymore. For 170 days I fought, I was a warrior and I tried so much but I got tired. Thank you so much for following my Journey for 170 days, I lost the battle against CHD. Thank you in advance for the help that everyone is making to help my mommy sustain herself financially after she lost her job for being bed side to me for almost 6 months . Mommy lost it all she is now empty in every way possible, whatever can help her for my funeral services and the rest of days that it will take her to find a new job. Thank you for following my Journey may Jehovah bless each and one of you! See you soon♥️ Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
