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!

Benefit Dinner at St. Francis

Today we had the unique pleasure of attending a Spaghetti Dinner, hosted by Tom's colleague, Kevin Bell. It was a benefit for our family held at St. Francis of Assisi School in Gates Mills, Ohio. It was wonderful! We had delicious food-rigatoni, meatballs, rolls, salad and cake-YUM! There were raffles going on and best of all, lots of FANTASTIC entertainment. Many of our friends, current and former students, local middle and high school bands and Tom's "rock" band, Abby Normal and the Detroit Lean performed. Thank you to all who planned, organized and worked the event, donated raffles items, performed at the event (including all of the conductors and music teachers), to St. Francis for allowing us to utilize their school and to those of you who attended. A special thank you to Kevin and his family for all of their hard work and dedication, we love you all and we truly appreciate everything that you have done for our family. It was a huge success. I can't think of a better way to have spent our Sunday afternoon then with all of you who have supported us on our CDH and Hemophilia journey. We are so blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives. Please enjoy the slide show. Unfortunately, my camera battery died during the event and I had to resort to my cell phone camera, so the pics aren't great, but nonetheless, I wanted to share our pictures with all of you. For anyone who attended the event and took photos, can you please email (sltrost@yahoo.com) or Facebook me your pictures so that I can add them to our slide show? Thank you! Feel free to click on a photo to go directly to the Picasa Photo Album to view the pictures larger. ENJOY!
