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!

Jaime is such a little miracle and an inspiration to many! He totally beat the odds and although today was a pretty typical day around here-nurse visit, PT, OT...oh and Birthday Pics; it was a WONDERFUL day. It's so great having Jaime, he's brought so much joy to all of us! I think he has made all of us better, stronger people! We love you, Jaime and thank you for fighting and defeating CDH! WOOHOO!!!! Wishing you the best birthday, EVER!
