What is Congenital Diaphragmatic Herina?

CDH is a Life Threatening Birth Defect with a 50/50 survival rate. CDH is an opening in the diaphragm that allows the abdominal organs to push into the chest cavity which limits the growth of the lungs.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT......

Today almost 5 families in the U.S will recieve the devastating news that their unborn child will have to fight for its life due to CDH.
That is 35 Familys a Week
133 Families a Month
1800 Families a Year
AND ONLY HALF WILL MAKE IT!

Fun With Aunt Amy

Brody had a Great afternoon with his aunt Amy! He helped her clean her house then for his treat for helping he got to fly a kite at the park. He loved it and didnt want to share with his sister Avery. I have some pictures so I will load them later. He came home like a dirty little boy! He took at bubble bath and to bed he is. Out like a light!!
I am so sleepy to so I think I need to crash out with him. I am trying to get my energy back from having my foot surgery a month ago. Being on bedrest for 3 wks then trying to do things again is kicking my butt!!
Well off to bed we go!! Goodnite to all!

Color Blind

Hello to everyone! I hope you all had a Great Weekend, We did.
I took Brody to the eye doctor last week because when he was younger he had some problems with his eyes. Brody is very very smart and knows everything. He is having trouble with Colors, everything is green to him. I have worked & worked with him and he cant get it. The eye doctor did some test for him to see if he is color blind and the doctor is almost 100% sure that he is color blind. We will go back to the eye doctor in one year and then we will know for sure. He is far sided also but not enough to get glasses yet.
Thanks for stopping bye!!

Mr. Sneak

Brody is doing so good. He is so full of life & is the most funniest little boy.
He wants to be outside all the time & loves to sneak out of the house. I think he knows that I cant move fast due to my foot so he uses that. I will be in my room which is down a hallway from the livingroom, he will be out there watching his shows and I will hear the door open so I yell for him and he wont answer me. So then I have to get my boot on my foot and go outside and there he is sitting out there. He knows how to unlock the door so I have to make sure I have the chain locked.
Brody been going to the pool & loves it. Keely takes him down the big slide. Brody isnt scare of anything at all!
