I wanted to let everyone who is following Weston's eating adventure that he is doing great. We haven't had a weight check so I can't say for sure he is gaining, he feels like he is :) Anyways, he is doing great on taking more and more food. He has eaten 1 chicken nugget, 2 pieces of ham and he is getting better and better at more solid food in his mouth. He is up to taking 18 oz of milk a day, which is awesome, we are so proud of him. He has come so far in two weeks, it is amazing and we know that is all because of God that he is doing so good.
Weston is also crawling everywhere and getting into everything. He is also pulling himself up on everything and we are working with his therapist to start walking, which is so exciting and scary all at the same time. My baby is growing up into a toddler like he should but it is happening so fast, usually you get a couple months to move from stage to stage not weeks. But I am so excited that we have come this far and that Weston continues to amaze us. We are so blessed.

The majority of CDHs occur on the left side. The hole allows the contents of the abdomen (stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, and kidneys) to go up into the fetal chest. The herniation of these abdominal organs into the chest occupies that space and prevents the lungs from growing to normal size. The growth of both lungs can be affected. This is called pulmonary hypoplasia.
