When Rue was born at 31 weeks, she received a diagnosis that would change her life forever.

Through expert NICU care by Christina Gomez-Juge, MD, life-saving surgery performed by Vincent Adolph, MD, and GI support through Ochsner Children's Intestinal Rehabilitation and Care program, led by Jasmeet Mokha, MD, Rue got a second chance to thrive.
