Help please

I've posted on a while ago about my chick that's not growing right, I've found out she's blind in one eye and is deaf. Shes growing very slowly. Is there something I can do for her, I would really be broken if I had her put down. She is 7 weeks today and is the size of a 2 week old chick

Oh my gosh!! That’s so strange, I have never in my life seen a chick that’s that small at 7 weeks. I’m sorry, I have no idea how to help but is it eating, drinking and acting like a normal chick? If it is I’d say just wait and see what happens
That is the weirdest thing, my mind is blown!

Vitamins and electrolytes in the water. High protein feed "like a meat bird or game bird ration".

Don't be surprised if it doesn't make it. It look pretty rough.

Shes eating and drinking but can't keep up with the other chicks so she stays in the coop alone. I take her out on the nice days so she can get some sun.

While this is true, sometimes they do pull through.
I wouldn't write her off just yet if she's still eating and drinking okay. Sometimes they surprise us. I would separate her from the others and put her with some similarly sized chicks if possible. I had a somewhat similar situation with an ISA that I figured was FTT, but I put her in with a younger batch of chicks (mostly because I needed the brooder) and she ended up doing just fine with them. She grew a little slower than the others at first, but caught up eventually. I feel like with her own age chicks she was struggling to follow along with them and with the younger ones she was closer to their developmental level so she started progressing better.
I agree with the extra protein and vitamins in either case.

If I could I would get the stuff she needs

If you can't get game bird or meat bird food you can add scrambled eggs to her diet.
