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!

Today is Congenital Diaphragmatic Awareness Day!


If you're not already doing so, please wear your turquoise today and tell someone new why you're wearing that particular color! Support Jaime and all of the CDH community around the world!

Our plans for today include a fetal MRI of Jaime and a balloon release later in support of CDH.

Thank you so much,
Sheryl

    Oh goodness.. fetal MRI... good luck!! I HATED mine and was so very uncomfortable. It took like an hour and a half. Hoping yours is less painful on you and reveals some good news!
