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.

Switching Places
Tried
to drive back to the hospital yesterday after a fitful night's rest but
was still falling asleep at the wheel, so after doing some errands together, when I intended to head north, instead Justin sent me home again to
sleep. It was not until he waved his magic guilt-releasing wand that I
was able to sleep well for a few hours before helping the children with
homework before bedtime. Mercifully Audrey's stent replacement went
perfectly and she was comfortable and happy
all day. We were together as a family this morning for breakfast, and Justin is excited to be on his way to go spend his day with
her while I enjoy a quiet morning with Gideon, then volunteering at the
school and a long anticipated lunch with friends. We plan to trade off
again this evening.
