The story of Eli, born without a nose, and his combative mother, will make you understand what maternal love really is
Little Timothy Eli Thompson was born premature on March 4th. He was born with a very rare malformation, which affects only one in 197 million people: Eli was born without a nose, and without an olfactory system. The mother, Brandi McGlathery, posted photos of her baby on Facebook, as almost all mothers do today, also telling about the surgery that the baby had to undergo just 5 days after birth, the thrill of seeing him for the first time. once without a mask on the face, the breastfeeding sessions, the care that the father reserves for the little one.
However, Facebook removed the baby's photos, because someone had reported them as offensive. Brandi, in response, rebelled and managed to mobilize the network, with a status and a link in which she declared: "Nobody can stop me from posting photos of my son, if I want. You see a lot of offensive things on Facebook everyone. days, and my son is not one of them! ".
The status and history of little Eli has been shared more than 30,000 times in a short time, so much so that Facebook had to restore Eli's photos to his mother's personal profile.

"Eli is so handsome that I don't want them to touch him to give him a nose. We'll wait as long as we can, and we'll give him a nose when he asks," continues Brandi "if the people who are fond of our story want to help us with medical bills. , or even just with their prayers, I will be equally grateful.
