Erica Gabbard and her son, Grayson, 2, who has short bowel syndrome, hug Dr. Debora Duro, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Broward Health, after a check-up visit. Dr. Duro has been treating Grayson’s condition with nutritional support and intestinal rehabilitation to grow his intestines instead of having a transplant. After 18 months of treatment, Grayson is able to eat, has almost doubled his weight and will be off treatment in one more month. (Susan Stocker / South Florida Sun Sentinel)
