Jaime Albert Trost was diagnosed with Right-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia at 19 weeks gestation. He was born at 34 weeks gestation on 4/16/09 as a hemophiliac with his liver and intestines in his chest. Jaime had his 1st repair surgery at 23 days old. He re-herniated in September 2009, causing his bowels, kidney and liver to be up in his chest. He had his 2nd repair surgery at 194 days old. Though Jaime still has many medical challenges ahead of him, today he is a thriving KINDERGARTENER who has beaten the odds!

January 24th, 2009

Saturday...the day before we leave for Columbus. Jared's eating a Goober-Grape sandwich, Tom's getting ready for his gig tonight and I'm hanging out online taking a break from schoolwork. We're going to Columbus tomorrow to drop Jared off at Titi's house and then Tom and I are going to continue down to Cincinnati for our early Monday morning at the Fetal Care Center. Monday will be a day of exams and consults with the Care team down there. Jared will be having his very first sleep-over away from Mommy and Daddy! We hope that Titi's ready for the toys and stuffed animals that will be visiting Columbus, too. :-) Yesterday, the "Sign Fairy" (Colleen Smith) UPS'd Jared a set of special "McQueen traffic sign" PJ's to bring along with him for his special night. Thank goodness for that Sign Fairy...LOL!

    Titi is ready with orange juice, fruit snacks, yogurt, pb& jelly and a big puffy bed made especially for Jared on my bedroom floor. And I found a train store that I might be able to take Jared to if he wants to see the train display! Can't wait for our sleepover.
