We have been approached by a Texas newspaper to do an article on CHERUBS and we'd like to include an interview by a Texas family affected by CDH. Any volunteers? Please e-mail me at events@cherubs-cdh.org with your complete contact info if you are interested!

I found a Texas family on carepages the other day. The little guy was just born on July 8th. His carepage name is JacksonGreen He is on ECMO right now.

The other Texas family I know also has a carepage, have already been on the news and are not members of CHERUBS.

I know that Michael Kelly is in Texas, maybe his mom Melissa will see this and be interested.

[MelissaKelly]

I'd be happy to unleash Michael's cuteness on more unsuspecting people. Already sent you an email, Dawn.

[LaurieB]

We would be happy to share Matthew's story as well.

I don't have outlook but I can be contacted at 936-756-8246 or 936-444-8224

Amy, I am going to make you CHERUBS blog coordinator, you are so great about finding and staying in touch with CDH parents through blogs. :)

The reporter has Melissa's number and I'll pass yours along too Laurie. Thank you both!

Something else we need from a TX member - a State Rep! Badly. We have over 100 members in TX, we need a Rep and I would LOVE to see a CDH TX picnic in January or February (and so would the reporter)! It's not that much work, really. Picnics are usually pot luck so the majority of that work is contacting the members, coordinating who's bringing what and booking the picnic area. Any volunteers??

[PennyCampsey]

COME on . someone be a rep, it's great :0)

[AmyMiles]

Dawn- LOL Thanks! Though I think I have recently hit my limit! Iam having trouble keeping all the expectant and new CDH babes straight.

We are from Houston, Texas. We would be interested in doing the interview if you are still looking for someone. Our son was on ECMO for 5 days and has been doing well since. He is at Texas Children's Hospital. Plase contact us if you still need someone for the interview. sarahvleary@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Sarah Green

Michael gets to show his chubby cheeks off in public now; he's doing so well off the vent that we've taken him out to eat a few times. It's awesome. =D

[Donna Easley]

Tell that man he's to young to be flirting with the waitresses.

[MelissaKelly]

He has to flirt, he gets viagra every six hours! It's not his fault!

[Donna Easley]

So does Alex!! Funny stuff. It makes diaper changes interesting.

[DanielleKessner]

LOL - that is tooo funny!!!

[Donna Easley]

It's great to see the reaction on peoples faces when you tell them that your child is on Viagra.
