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.

The many faces of Wyatt... All smiles!
Eventhough Wyatt has been smiling for a while, this is the first smile captured on camera! What a miracle and such a blessing to the world!
The incision on Wyatt's abdomen that the docs are worried that it may be infected...

Beautiful pic's Mom and Dad!!! What a joy to see such a sweet, sweet smile!!!! Hang in there little buddy...you are truly in the "home stretch'... Thinking of you and sending many hugs and prayers....and if course happy thoughts! Love, Karen :)
Boy, even Wyatt's incision looks like it's smiling. What a big smile on him. He looks so happy. It's great to see when they turn the corner on CDH and start looking like "regular" happy babies. Wyatt is surely there!
Make sure they keep on top of that incision (as if you wouldn't)! It looks like it's already oozing. Poor dude!

Sorry - I had to post again... I just noticed Wyatt's hands in the smiley picture. He's getting some pudge! YIPPIE! He looks like he must weight close to 13 pounds! Also - just my opinion but I'd post the smiley picture somehow permanently on the side so we can see it every time we visit the blog. His smile makes me HAPPY ;-)
