My name is Christina, I am Mother to 4 children.

Overall,Hunter spent 45 days in NICU,several other hospital stays and approximately 10 surgeries.He has 2 Big Sisters,Danielle 20 (Dating a CDH Survivor),Codee 16,and a baby Brother,Hayden 2. Hunter's condition,in a weird way, has made us stronger as a family and has taught us lessons we will never forget! I wanted other families to know that there is someone here for them, someone that they can depend on and a little boy that can provide some light in the darkness of CDH.

I will help. I have a ton of recipes I can contribute. Also, what about grandparents? I asked my parents if they'd be interested in helping out-they have some awesome recipes, too. My dad (my family's resident chef), said he'd be glad to.
Mommy to a Miracle: Ericka Elizabeth (3.18.2009)-LCDH diagnosed in utero at 29 weeks- Venitlator- Nitric Oxide- Repair surgery at 13 days- Venous Venous ECMO at 16 days- Venous Arterial ECMO at 21 days- came off ECMO at 36 days- off oxygen support at 84 days- G-tube surgery at 78 days- home at 100 days..FINALLY! I'm so proud of her and all the progress we have made! All meds and g-tube DC'd on May 5th- 2010. She's still a skinny minny but she's healthy and happy! She's amazing!

Hmmm, trying to think about section A. I'll see what I have. I do 100% milk free cooking so some of that could fall under vegan. I have tinkered with gluten free a bit, but not tons. Have a couple recipes for that. We also do egg free, dye free, and predominantly corn free cooking.

Hi everyone,
I just got back on the forums. For some reason I'm not getting any responses by email.
Anyways I'd love to contribute. Can you send me the template to submit recipes.
My email address is alittleoh@yahoo.com
