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-TOMORROW (Thursday)

Just wanted to remind everyone to wear your turquoise tomorrow (March 31st) to show support for all of those affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, also known as CDH!
In wearing your turquoise tomorrow, please tell someone a fact about this awful birth defect. Some facts are as follows:

These facts are taken directly off of t-shirts that I actually own and that you, too, can purchase from the following link: http://www.cafepress.com/+cdh_awareness_tshirt_with_facts,404909348.
I hope that you will support CDH Awareness by sporting your turquoise tomorrow. If you are able and willing, you may also make a donation in Jaime's honor to Breath of Hope, Inc-just one of the few amazing CDH organizations that support research and spread awareness. Not to mention this organization has been there on this journey with us from the beginning supporting us along the way! :) The following link will take you to their website in which you can make your online donation! http://breathofhopeinc.com/

This is what CDH looks like...and this is why we wear turquoise.

Thank you in advance for your continued love and support!

    Deus é Poder! O nome de Deus é Poderoso.
    Deus cura Deus dá a vida. Deus único e verdadeiro.
    Nunca existiu um antes e nunca haverá um depois ele é o unico.
    O homem sem Fé é uma folha seca.
    Que Deus abençoe Jaime Sempre e Sempre em Nome de Deus Todo Poderoso.
