We did it!! LaneyKate is going public!!

Well my writing paid off.
I finally sent in a brief discription of LaneyKate's journey and our local CBS station has contacted us and is wanting to share our story.
They are also combining it with the grand opening of the Children's Hospital at St. Francis, where LK was treated. We are very excited to share our story and get the current info out there. They are interviewing out ecmo coordinator on mon and plan to come to our house either tues or wed. wish us luck!! i've never been on the tube b4 ahhhh!

I saw it. She's tooooo cute. I think this is the link

I watched it too. She is so beautiful. Carrie you did a great job too!!

it was great. it was a little harder to retell than i expected it to be.... but anyway. they did a great job and really pluged cdh and our website. i just hope we made some awareness...

by the way,,,, in the article they said laneykate was on ecmo 34 days. no she was on ecmo 4 days; in the hospital 34. but oh well.

I loved Laneykate's pink bow.
You both did a great job.
It was fantastic.
There is no way this did not help in the fight to get CDH awareness out there.
WAY TO GO LANEYKATE!!!!You are a true miracle.

I am in tears! It may be the pregnancy hormones though! Either way, Carrie you did an AWESOME job! I loved the story. What an inspiration you are! I just loved it, I can't say it enough! LaneyKate is ADORABLE!! Thank you so much for that Carrie.

WOW! good job! Keep us posted.

We were watching House yesterday after the superbowl and say a commercial for a news story about California babies dieing from a common birth defect. I have been looking all last night and this morning for more info. I hoping it's about CDH. I'll let you all know if I find anything.

Im glad we were able to get it out there, especially here. like i said, parents in this area are given completely outdated info by a specific dr. and we have turned him definetly. but still any info out there is good. Information during a time like we've had is so critical and impowering, atleast for me.

That's aweosme Carrie, after what you have been through the past couple months, you deserve to feel so impowered by something that means so much to you!

Amazing video! congrats for spreading the word about CDH. I plan on trying to get something going here locally in Phoenix, AZ. We've been trying so hard to reach the national public with our letters...I thought it was time to go to the local news stations and start there! Way to go Laney Kate!! She is soooooo cute!

I don't think I posted about this but I did want to say that I saw it and thought it was just wonderful! LaneyKate is adorable!! :D
