An Adult with Esophageal Atresia with a Tracheoesophageal Fistula

Meet Becky...  Becky's Story -- An Adult with EA/TEF.  Like Baby Sister, she was born with Esophageal Atresia with a Tracheoesophageal Fistula.  She has gone through many medical experiences, and even now, continues to have medical issues associated with EA/TEF.

While she has managed to carve out a wonderful life for herself, she has had to endure lots of medical problems and even lost her right lung in the process.  This birth defect is serious, and its complications can be devastating and costly.  Becky is one of the lucky ones, but a lot more RESEARCH and information is needed to improve the quality of care for each of these very special people.

Please join us in our efforts to heighten awareness about this birth defect and raise funds for Baby Sister to go to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in August; so she can receive evaluation and treatment for her condition.
