I am a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) baby. My diaphragm developed with a hole in it and my organs were misplaced in my chest cavity. The organs pushed on my lungs, causing one lung to be very small. I was born on October 9, 2007 at Johns Hopkins. Now it is three years later: I am saying a bunch of words, I still receive foods through a g-tube and am on oxygen while I sleep. I can't walk yet, but believe I can out scoot anyone! Here is the story of my amazing and patient recovery.

Many visitors today!
This morning started with another phone call from the weekend doctor, a different doctor from yesterday. She said that Wyatt had dried blood in his spit up but it's less than yesterday. She called Dr. Abdullah, Wyatt's surgeon and he asked to speak with me. He said that it's not unusal for CDH babies to spit up dried up blood and as long as Wyatt's stats are ok and he is acting normally, then there is no need for concern. Wyatt's surgeons, Benji and I seem like we are on the same page. We both want Wyatt to get stronger and bigger before surgery if it's needed. We are also happy and thankful that Mt. Washington is on top of things and seems to take all measures when something happens. The line of communication between the surgeons and Mt. Washington is open and constant. Wyatt slept in my arms for most of the day and then later in the day, Benji's sister Tori and her husband Dani as well as Benji's dad came to visit him. Wyatt was wide awake and alert during their visit. I just love Wyatt so much... he is such a sweet natured child who loves to be held.
