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 sure quite what to say. She's not reading right?!? Because she's two. Save that for her Harvard application, which she should probably start filling out any day now.
I'm telling you, the kid's a superhero. It's just a matter of time before she starts leaping tall buildings in a single bound.
I LOVED it! As an English teacher, I wish some of my students read/recited with such joyful enthusiasm. I've watched it three times already and keep dragging family members in to see it. "This is Ellie who started it all," I've been telling them. "She's almost three!"
Oh my gosh you guys that is incredible! I love hearing her little story! Such a great video!
