God Bless You and thank you for sharing your history.

What a strong, courageous young woman you are!

Put your faith in God as he has a plan for us all (that we are not privy to until it presents itself).

Blessings,

Welcome to CHERUBS!

Thank you (n_n)
I came across her blog link in the forums and was reading through it the other day. Reading through it gave me lots of hope.

I just found her forum posts, I'll be reading through them as soon as I get a chance.

Thank you again!

Welcome to CHERUBS!

Welcome to Cherubs, Courtney! Please, feel free to post in the forums and become an active member. All Cherubs are welcome! =) It's so great to hear from adult survivors, especially females because I have a little girl who was born with CDH in March 2009. I love to hear about how your lives have played out, what you've accomplished, what activities you've participated in. It just gives me so much to look forward to when we were told that she may not survive (too many times).
As for older survivors who have had kids of their own, I think I know of one maybe two women who have gone through this. One of them was on here for a while during her pregnancy, giving us all updates and everything. I can't remember her name but hopefully someone else who reads your blog can chime in. I believe she had a perfectly healthy baby and really no pregnancy issues.
Again, welcome aboard! It's so good to have you here! =)

Its nice to meet you
I think most families have never heard from it until it happens to them. That's how it was for my parents; the first thing that went through my Dad's head was heredity (because he's adopted he doesn't know his family's medical history), but the doctors assured them it was not inherited in any way. (A fact I'm glad to know, in the case I have my own child.)

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandson though. A child passing is never easy. I had a friend who passed from Cistic Fibrosis when she was fourteen; its been a few years but its still odd and hard to think of.
