Ellie is special because at just 9 months old, she became one of the youngest Alaskans with a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Now her family is sharing their story in the hope it will help other families recognize the warning signs.
Katie and Jeremiah Ferguson live off Vine Road outside of Wasilla and commute to Anchorage for work. So while big brother Jonah, 10, goes to school, Ellie spends most days in her grandparents? care.
Katie said their lives changed permanently following a worried phone call from grammy saying baby Ellie wasn?t herself that day. Her usually bubble granddaughter was tired, her breathing was labored and she was drinking a lot of water.
