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.

Prayers Requested
Audrey will have major surgery on her esophagus in Boston on January 12th. They will enter her right side under the shoulder, cut out a bad segment of esophagus and remove two recurrent fistulas, and lightly stitch her trachea to keep it more open. She and I will fly out next Sunday morning the 10th, and stay our first two nights at hospital housing before going inpatient for at least two weeks. Please join us in praying for her doctors' hands to be guided and that she does not stricture repeatedly during the healing process as she did when she was smaller, so that we can come home quickly and stay home.
