Henry's story in our local newspaper

[katrinaenglish]

Our local newspaper published 2 articles about our son, Henry, in early June. The first one is about Henry, his condition, and his homecoming after 8 weeks in the hospital. The second is about a benefit that was held for our family. During the benefit, we raised awareness of CDH in our community. It was wonderful, and we got a ton of support!

You can read the articles by going to these links:

Correction: Sorry, the first article is about the benefit, the second is more about Henry's homecoming. No biggie... Still worth a look if you have a minute! :shock:

Thanks !!!

Wow Katie I never realized his kidney was up too! He certainly is a little miracle babe. Thanks for sharing the stories. Your community has been amazing!

I have to say, the guy who wrote the articles was a great guy, but he did get that wrong, Amy. :oops: Henry's kidney was not up, neither was his spleen, etc. All that was up, as far as I know, was his stomach and small intestine. When I read the article for the first time, I was upset that he got that wrong. I'm guessing that the writer got that from a website, as kind of a generic description of CDH, and the possible organs that can be affected. He wrote it, and published the article, and when I realized the error, it was too late to change it. I know, it makes Henry's plight seem much worse than it was, but, oh well. I guess the main thing here is that a few more people are aware of CDH now. Even if the writer got it a little wrong.

Very true Katie. He still is a very handsome miracle either way! Take care!

exaclty katrina ...
at least the article was done and not many know there was an error and in some CDH that does occur; we are so happy for the coverage!
