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.

Wednesday, August 17
Big Day for little girl! A study will be done to see if her esophagus has healed enough not to leak. If successful it will mean big changes: breathing tube out, maybe chest drainage tube out, milk starting again, an attempt at a little bit of milk by bottle if the swelling in her throat isn't too tight, and maybe, maybe... getting to hold her again in the next couple of days!
