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.

Thursday, June 14
Audrey had surgery today to relieve lingering pressure on her right
lung, but the mass was too consolidated to extract--apparently that is
good news though, and her body will slowly absorb it on its own.
Getting to love our interventional radiologist, Dr Feola, what a great
doc. He'll probably be doing her next dilation instead of Dr D, with a
balloon instead of the Tucker dilators due to her recent leak. Still
doing our homework about whether and when Boston is the best choice, but
I am 70% there. Thank you again for all of your concern and support!
