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.

Some Good News
Tears
of relief!! It's probably just a nasty cold, which for a kid like her
is a big deal but nothing like what this chest retracting could have
meant!! You guys, oh my goodness, I was so so SO worried!!! Massive
stress. Was talking to the doctors, and waiting for the x Ray, and then
my friend Heather was at the door with my bag of things from home and a
hug, and right behind her were the LDS elders,
they came in and said someone had called them to give her a blessing.
It must have been one of you. The x Ray came on the heels of the elders,
and the doctor stayed to read it right there. When he told me the lungs
were clear I almost cried. Then as the doctor walked out, my friend
Kira who works at the hospital came in, and made me a cup of peppermint
tea and more hugs. I feel so blessed and loved!!!! We are now on
precaution which means no more wagon rides unless her swab comes back
negative for the virus. But oh, MAN, I'll take that over chest tubes and
pneumonia ANY DAY.
