Featured Child of the Month: Ellie Borgan
Ellie lives in the Boston area with her mother and father, Abby and Gib Borgan. Ellie was born in 2006, missing 90% of her small bowel and 30% of her colon due to Jejunal Atrisia. Ellie is diagnosed as having Short Bowel Syndrome. Ellie has had multiple surgeries since birth and is on tube feeds and Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPEN). Abby and her family have faced the many challenges that come along with having a child with tubes, yet lead a remarkably active lifestyle. Abby is a consumer advocate for ThriveRx.
