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.

Sad Day
One of Audrey's namesakes, my precious friend Anna, needs prayers for strength and comfort to her family as she wraps up her valiant battle with this disease I detest. I can't begin to tell you how much I love and admire this woman. Her example of Christlike service to her family and everyone she knows, her laughter and joy and ceaseless hard work, have all touched my life immeasurably. I'm thankful for a deep belief that life does not end when our bodies quit working, that the Lord is bigger than all of our griefs, and that He knows exactly how to comfort us when we turn to him.
