5-year-old Audrey was born with her lungs connected to her stomach and an incomplete esophagus (Long Gap EA/TEF or Esophageal Atresia). After two big surgeries and 142 days in the NICU in Utah, Audrey finally moved home but has since needed much more surgery, now in Boston. Much of her food still comes through a tube directly into her stomach, and she has had many procedures to help her swallow food, but she is thriving today. Thank you for blessing us with your love and prayers.

June 23
What a strange, comical experience this morning. One by one, the involved people came to talk to me about my interest in possibly switching surgeons. Two of them encouraged me to stay with Dr. Black, while the other two encouraged me to continue moving forward with a change until I was comfortable. It was quite an ordeal, actually-- and I'm afraid that in the end I made the waves I had been hoping to avoid, in spite of all my efforts to the contrary. I told Laura, the social worker, that I was afraid I now had a black mark on our chart-- she told me "no, of course not. It's red."
