It seems that things are getting in gear and the lack of things in her stomach this morning is a very good sign.
We are heading home today and will manage her bowel recovery from home.
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.

It was great to see her smiling, happy self today and to watch her antics! You'd never know that she has just had major surgery!
Yay! I'm so glad you're all home. Enjoy.
Love,
Beth
