Parent to a CDH survivor (new member)

Rate this Entry
Hi everyone. I am a parent to a left congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivor. My son Marcus Anthony Velasquez is now 10. He only had a 20% chance of living but he beat all the odds. He was on ECMO for 13 days. It was the scariest time in my life. He stayed almost three months at the Driscoll Childrens Hospital in Corpus Christi, Tx.
