Reaching growth milestones thanks to children’s hospital
When Meghan was only two years old, she was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE), a rare immune disorder that damages the esophagus and makes eating painful. As Meghan struggled to eat because of the discomfort, her parents became increasingly worried about her growth. That’s when they brought Meghan to Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital. Very quickly, her family developed a close and trusting bond with their expert care team. The team offered reassurance and comfort, consistently answering every question and discussing multiple treatment options as Meghan underwent endoscopies. Along with the indispensable care from her gastroenterology team, a team of nutritionists became vital to Meghan’s progress, ensuring she had balanced, healthy meals. Today, Meghan is thirteen years old, confident, and joyful. Meghan continues to make great strides in her care and development with the support of the team at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital. Thanks to this expert care and personal connection, Meghan has a bright future in store!
