Hi! I’m Emily

In 2008 my husband Brian and I adopted an amazing little boy named Patrick. Patrick was born with Short Bowel Syndrome as a complication of gastroschisis. He received a liver-intestine transplant in 2014.

In addition to Short Gut, Patrick struggles with a brain injury, developmental delays, and food allergies. But in spite of all his challenges, Patrick faces life with excitement, happiness, and a twinkle in his eye.

This blog is about our journey together.
