Henry's story in our local newspaper
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!

The article was slightly wrong!
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.
