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.

Heading into the O.R.
So relieved that the powers that be were able to change our OR time so it makes it possible for me to be here for her and not miss a mandatory choir rehearsal tonight. Waiting to see the surgeon now. Audrey is practicing her newest mad skill of card lacing, and she's a bubble catching pro!
This is Jo, our cute child life specialist who has been blowing bubbles for Audrey in the OR waiting area. Audrey was smiling a ton right before this picture was taken; I was hoping to catch it. She had been popping bubbles with her feet and hands and making me laugh. The doctors opened the door to come in right as I shot this picture so she is looking at them warily.
