According to the mother Brandi McGlathery ‘The rest of him is so cute, sometimes you don’t realize he doesn't have a nose,’. Baby Eli was born with an extremely rare condition called Complete Congenital Arhinia. Around the world, Baby Eli is among 37 babies living with this condition. Father of the baby Troy Thompson said he had hoped the baby does not get his nose but to his utmost dismay they pulled back in shock when they discovered he had no nose.
GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money for surgery to make him a nose including visitation to the hospital.
Doctors have also said they may have to wait until baby Eli attains puberty as his palate is not fully formed and his 'brain is lower'
