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.

Baby Steps
Audrey should go off paralytic drugs tomorrow
if all continues to go this well! That means she will still be deep
asleep and intubated (on the breathing machine), but will be able to
shift her own body position to be more comfortable and scratch an itch,
or wiggle her fingers and toes. Exciting baby steps!
