Daughter of Caleb and Katie Siefkes of Sleepy Eye, 10-month-old Ellanor, was hospitalized in June of 2020. After six months of ongoing testing and multiple infections, Children’s Hospital’s hematology department determined that she had a genetic mutation causing low neutrophil counts and diagnosed her with ELANE mutation Severe Congenital Neutropenia. The next year Ella was prescribed medication to help her bone marrow grow the blood cells. Bone Marrow Transplant was the only other course of action to improve and sustain Ella’s quality of life. Around Ellanor’s second birthday, Children’s Hospital referred her to the U of MN BMT program. Testing of Ellanor’s five siblings revealed that she had a fully matched donor available in her brother, Josiah, and it was decided to move forward with BMT.
