This is the story of Eleanor Brogan who was born in April 2006. She was born missing 90% of her small bowel and 20% of her large bowel. This made her "Short Gut" or "short bowel", hence the name of the blog. Currently she is being treated by Children's Hospital Boston. She was the 23rd child to go on the new lipid for TPN, called Omegaven. Which has saved her liver, kept her off the transplant list and we believe saved her life.

Oh it's so nice to see you all out in the sun enjoying the nice weather. Ellie looks like she's doing well!
Two beautiful women! Wonderful pics. Apparently you've had a day without rain!
I had somehow missed the surgical shots. For a person who had no interest in seeing my own ACL repair video, I found these pictures, well, kind of artistic, almost. Then again, my mother (who was a nurse, after all) had a personal surgical picture of some sort framed and hung it in the bathroom! But that's probably more than everyone needed to know.
My mom, by the way, would have been sending her prayers (yup), but also would have been intrigued about the science of all this.
Anyway, talk with you all soon.
Hugs,
Barbara
