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!

10 months old....Yesterday!

Happy 10 Months Old, Little Man!

Jaime turned 10 months old yesterday. New things Jaime is doing: crawling backwards, sitting unassisted, walking in his walker, standing holding on to someone or something, eating puffs on his own, and "talking" a lot more. To think that one year ago we were headed up to Michigan to consult about Jaime possibly having Fryn's Syndrome...what a difference a year makes!

Overall, Jaime is OK. He's experiencing an unusual amount of reflux lately...not sure why. And another weird thing is that Jaime's right-sided "bulge" is not there anymore...at least not the last few days. I did email the surgeon...not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that may be contributing to the reflux (which could mean things are shifting in his abdomen). He's also back to sleeping terribly! He's been up the last few nights at least 3 times and taking a bottle each time, too!
He has another busy week of therapy, including Home OT which is to start tomorrow and he has his GI appointment on Friday and his stomach emptying study on Monday! Wish us luck and enjoy the pics of our little 10 month old peanut!
Cruisin' in his walker.
Reading with Jared...check out the arm.
Jared thought it was funny!
He LOVES his big brother.
The book they were reading.
Another great shot of Jaime's hand.
My buddy & I, we've been ice skating this week, we're both whipped! (And yes, I got a new do.)
Bath tonight...bulge?!?
Off to do homework...yep, classes started again on Monday! Until next time....
