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!

CDH Awareness Day Coming up Wednesday.


This is just a reminder that CDH Awareness Day is March 31st.
There are some CDH families doing a balloon release in honor of their CDH children, on Wednesday, we plan to do the same thing! This year, our balloons will have the names of all of the Cincinnati CDH'ers whom we've met along the way over this past year!
The color for CDH Awareness is turquoise, so please wear turquoise on Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 in honor of Jaime and his CDH Friends!

If you'd like to make a donation towards CDH in honor of Jaime, you may do so at the following website.

Thank you so much and don't forget to sport your favorite turquoise clothing on Wednesday and tell everyone why you're wearing that particular color...spreading awareness is key!


P.S. If you send us photos of you wearing turquoise, we'll post them in a slide show on our blog like we did last year! Thanks!
