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.

Look who is eating!
Wyatt has always disliked eating. He would never allow you to put a spoon in his mouth and could not tolerate baby food or a cracker in his mouth. Recently he started wanting food. He will open his mouth like a little bird and tolerating a spoon in his mouth. He enjoys soft, sweet, things like pudding and yogurt. We have to watch him very closely when he is eating a cracker or carrot because he bites off a chunk and has trouble chewing it up. He makes a huge mess, but I know it's going in his stomach because when I vent him, pink yogurt comes out!!! He eats about 1/4th of the container. Thank goodness!!!
