I am so excited to write this post. Yesterday while meeting with Weston's therapist we decided that we should start cutting back on Weston's OT sessions from once a week which we have had since November last year and go to once a month. This is so exciting and an answer to prayers that Weston is catching up developmentally right where he needs to be. We wrote out a few goals for him they were speech and sleeping through the night :) I know great goals for any kid to have.
We know that it is the prayers and God that have helped our son get to were he is now and we praise God every day for our boy and how normal he is.
Please keep the CDH community in your prayers as new Cherubs and expectant parents are given this diagnoses every day. We need to see more of these kids survive and thrive.
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.

So happy that Weston is doing so well. Great goals to have. Hope 2010 brings you all great things.
