Stayed home today because our sitter needed the day off last minute. I spent the day doing great stuff with my other kids, but feeling nervous for Audrey-- something about the whole blood sugar thing on top of the impending surgery was really getting under my skin. Justin went up in the evening (because I have learned my lesson about night driving and just don't any more) and he had a sweet visit. The one scary thing was he noticed her shivering, when she was obviously not cold-- it was strange. She had a short snooze and it went away. Justin knew I was worried sick and asked if they could hold off on giving her bath until I arrived the next morning, knowing how I love to do them.
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.
