Eli Thompson was born with a rare condition called arhinia, which is defined as being born with the absence of a nose and nasal cavities.

We are sad to announce that Eli has recently passed away because of his condition. He was just two years old.

The condition which little Eli was born with affects only one in 197 million births.

When Eli was born, he was given a tracheotomy, which is performed when a patient’s airway is blocked. It involves surgically opening the windpipe to allow access to a breathing tube. Eli passed away due to health complications stemming from his rare condition.

Jeremy Finch, Eli’s father, announced on Facebook that his son had passed away at Springhill Medical Centre in Alabama.

“He finished his race a lot earlier than we would have liked, but it was God’s time to bring him back home. I’ll forever look forward to seeing him at the gates of Heaven waiting on me to give me another one of his famous fist bumps,” the post continued.

When Eli was born on March 4, 2015, his parents were shocked to find out that he had been born without a nose. Brandi McGlathery, Eli’s mother, had had a normal pregnancy without any complications. Eli was her second son.

When Brandi was asked how the health of her son was progressing six months after his birth, she admitted that his health had been getting worse.

“Well, in all honesty, his health has been depleting lately. We had an incident where he turned blue because of a serious respiratory problem, & he’s projectile vomiting almost daily, & still is having problems gaining weight,” Brandi said.

Although Eli did have recurring health issues, he was always positive and happy. He even learned how to use baby sign language. His parents say that his favorite sign to use was “cookie”

Eli would ask for a cookie every morning, leading him to win the “Cookie Monster Award” at his daycare facility.
