Ellie's new favorite trick, standing up. No, it won't give you bow legs. We checked.


I think I can fit that in my mouth

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.

I'm not at all biased. She is just beautiful- these are the best pictures yet. Ellie loves to stand, either in a lap or her crib. We had a great visit with "our girl' yesterday and are looking forward to this next week-end.
This baby is so cute I can barely stand it. I love her!
In the picture where she's standing up, I think she's giving the Black Power salute. 5 months old, and already socially conscious...
What a cutie! She's getting so big and ready to move on to her next big adventure. Give her a squeeze for me!
I disagree with Kate at some risk...but I don't think that's the Black Power salute. I think that's the modern athletes' high five - you know, the fist bump to celebrate an early athletic achievement. But maybe she'll be an Olympian and we'll come full circle.
Beautiful pictures.
Or she could be practicing for her days as a celebrity, she has to work on aiming her fist at the photographer’s lens! Rock on Little one!
