    Megaesophagus and Lola

    I thought I would place this here as I ask for advice and prayers for Lola. Lola was left in my care 2 weeks ago at the tender age of two weeks because she either lost her mom or her mom lost her. From day one she has had trouble bottlefeeding it is so frustrating for her. Lola first saw the...
