Eline Leonie was born to Michelle Claudine, a Swiss Optician. Her father’s name is unknown. There isn’t much information about Eline’s parents
Eline was diagnosed with Progeria Disease. It is a rare genetic disease that causes children to age rapidly.
Michelle Claudine knew there was something wrong with her pregnancy as in the 20th week of her pregnancy, her belly was smaller compared to other mothers.
Unlike other children, Eline’s ageing started before her birth. After her birth, she was diagnosed with digestive, muscle and heart problems.
A worried Michelle asked the doctors to do an ultrasound, but they suggested Amniocentesis instead. She did not comply with the doctor’s orders and was hospitalised at week 28.
