After six and a half long months, April enjoyed eating by mouth this weekend. She started with ice cream.
Her recent surgery was a success, allowing this amazing milestone to occur. Until this point, there were only a few instances of April taking liquids by mouth. Her solid food was blended up and inserted into her Gtube, which goes directly into her stomach.
She has a long road of healing ahead of her, but this momentous marker is miraculous, considering she was given days to live last March, and now she has an entire beautiful life ahead of her.
She has to continue strengthening herself and maintain her rehabilitation with the help of her team, which she is involved in daily. With the help of Spaulding rehab and the team at Mass Ear and Eye, she will continue to heal.
We have raised $16,090 with the help of 141 donors. Our current goal is to raise $9,540 for her last four months in her recovery apartment.
We are so grateful for all of your help. If you can help get April over the finish line, that would be beautiful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!
