Lyons preschooler Audrey Fawole was just three hours old and weighed 1.3 kilograms when she had life-saving surgery at the Canberra Hospital in 2018 to separate and repair an abnormal join between her oesophagus and trachea, otherwise known as a tracheoesophageal fistula.
At 20 days and weighing 100 grams more, she had more surgery, this time a groundbreaking procedure, the first of its kind in Canberra, in which keyhole surgery was used on her tiny body to correct a duodenal atresia, or gap in her small intestine.
