Well I haven't been on in a few weeks, but I'm proud to announce that baby Gavin was born 6/11/2013 @ 9:57 pm!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ he's been in the NICU ever since, they did the repair surgery on friday afternoon. He still has a patch on his stomach because his bowels couldn't entirely fit in his abdominal cavity... he has been stabilized and on meds to help with his blood pressure, and today he just got on Nit 0 for his pulmonary hypertension. They said ...

So everything went great! Had some contractions after the surgery, which is normal for 32 weeks, baby is doing great just waiting to go home .... bed rest here I come! Hopefully I can make it through the 8 weeks.

Tracheal occlusion surgery today!!!!

well I haven't updated since our appointment on the 16th of April... Gavins Trachea is just a little too small for the stent , so they want us to come back on May 1st to check again, and if his trachea is big enough they're going to go ahead and do the surgery as quickly as the next day... I have a little extra fluid due to him not being able to breathe, but my cervix looks great , so no big concerns there... also his height, and weight is at the 52 percentile so he's doing great!!!!
Anyone ...

Yay so thanks to my mother-in-law the city of Palm Beach Gardens , Florida as declared April 19th CDH awareness day!!! We got two copies , so we will be sending one to the North Carolina address!!! taking one step at a time!!!!!!! GOOOO CHERRUUBBBSSS!!!!
