10 MONTHS AND DOING GREAT!!!!MY OLDER DAUGHTER WAS ASSKED TO DO A RESEARCH REPORT AND SHE TOLD THE TEACHER SHE WANTED CDH. SHE SAID THE TEACHER'S EYES WATERD AND THEN SHE SAID HER NEPHEW HAD CDH AND LIVED 16 PRECIOUS DAYS. I THINK AT THAT MOMENT MY DAUGHTER REALIZED HOW LUCKY WE ARE.

I think of all the parents that have lost their babies to CDH and I just feel this awe like im in the presence of something magical, my son, who i was told to have an abortion with to save myself the pain of losing him at or before birth is laying here next to me.
