Ava~ Hope for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.: December 2014
http://avaslifewithcdh.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 18, 2014. I took a few quick pictures as she was getting her x rays. She is such a pro at this! I got her antibiotic (Cefdinir) and some lunch. She fell asleep shortly after eating. I'm hoping we aren't looking at pneumonia. She has such a bad and constant cough. She will be missing out on her Christmas party at school. I do the school's yearbook so I will have to go and take pictures. I'll pick up her treats so hopefully that will make her feel better. How cute is this? Ava's visitors...

Ava~ Hope for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.: Ava's Story
http://avaslifewithcdh.blogspot.com/p/avas-story.html
Ava's Beginning and Our Fight to Keep our Daughter. Every once in a while we are handed things in our life that seem impossible. We question God, we question ourselves. “Why? It doesn’t look like anything.” “Well, she said pulling him up onto her lap, Why don’t you look at it from up here.” Wow grandma it is pretty! 8221; Sometimes only God sees the finished product. We are only seeing the underneath, the mess. For the next few days I was literally a wreck. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t ...I had grown up kn...

Ava~ Hope for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.: A Change of Heart
http://avaslifewithcdh.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-change-of-heart.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. A Change of Heart. Then on Wednesday her heart rate dropped to 44. I went over to her and checked her pulse myself. I got 38 beats a minute and they were very shallow. I grew concerned. I woke her and the heart rate got better. I then let her go back to sleep but it continued to get lower and lower. The nurse asked if she wanted to remove all the stickers herself. Of course she did! There are 5 leads and the monitor itself is attached to her jeans. November 22, 2014 at 12:20 AM.

Ava~ Hope for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.: What is CDH?
http://avaslifewithcdh.blogspot.com/p/what-is-cdh.html
What is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia? A diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm, the muscle that helps you breathe. The opening allows part of the organs from the belly (stomach, spleen, liver, and intestines) to go up into the chest cavity near the lungs. Also forcing the heart to move. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is seen in 1 out of every 2,500 live births. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ava's visitors since October 2008. Want to Know More?

Friday, July 17, 2015. Hello Ava followers. I feel like it's been a long time since I've updated. Hope things are well with all of you. Ava slowly got over the virus she had.

On our way. She was so happy for Ava as are we! The next thing she did was a lung function test. She was very worried about it this time f...

Raising Diaphragmatic Hernia Children.: Featured CDHer~ James
http://cdhkids.blogspot.com/2012/06/featured-cdher-james.html
Hospital and Doctor Reviews. Monday, June 4, 2012. He was breathing room air before long and after eight weeks was discharged and able to come home with us. He did not need any oxygen support or monitors or even a feeding tube for when he came home. All of this was new and terrifying for us because we had 2 healthy girls at home. James had feeding issues and massive reflux and needed a Nissen fundoplication when he was three. He has fought and worked very hard and I am so proud to be his mom! This site o...
