That kinda scared me. no one has ever told us that Baer probably has another defect since he has CDH. Wonder if he has one that we do not know about? I know lots of our kiddies have other defects, does anyone's cherub NOT have any other defects? He also called it a disease at first, but i thought it is just a birth defect and not a disease, A disease has to be cured but a birht defect has to be corrected.
cdh found at birth. 28 days NICU. Vent 7 days. Repair at 3 days. No ECMO. NG Tube 28 days http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/m...don/0004-1.jpg

Wow, this took me back to when I was pregnant with Kiyari. Never had heard about CDH, and the Doctors weren't giving us to much info about it. So I went online, and one of the first videos I saw was of the outcomes. I had been told Kiyari's CDH was severe, so you can imagine how I felt. I was so scared and worried, I basically cried, got really depressed and never looked up anything else.
I regret that, because I should've looked for support groups.
