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.

Abby you look great! But not as great as Ellie!
Hi You may remember me as Stephanie's mom and a friend of your mom in Freeport. Stephanie was born with many birth defects her most serious was that her esophagus was connected to her lung and had to be reconnected to her stomach when she was just hours old. She too had the G-tube for many months as well as spending months in the hospital..Today she is a grown, healthy woman with 2 beautiful children of her own..so you see there is a "light at the end of the tunnel" Mary Lou (Pray) Halla
