Audrey has proclaimed for a long time that she is going to be a doctor when she grows up.
In the car just now, our sweet hostess, Anna E., asked: "What will you specialize in, Audrey?"
I looked over at Anna and said "well, she's not quite five yet, I think she has a LITTLE more time to decide."
But from the back seat the little pink med school student said,
"Wellll, if you watch something doctory,
if you watch something that a doctor does, then it kind of helps you know what tools you need and what you need to do with them."
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.
