Here We Go....
Okay, it seems like Davis takes after his mommy and not me, he wants to be early. So this morning (6 a.m.) we arrived at Duke hospital because Davis is on his way! So far we've only been here nine hours. Some family are on their way and lots of you have already been in touch. Thank you all for your prayers and support. more soon.
We are praying for all of you. We know that God has you in His wings. Please let us know how we can send you something in the mail. Thinking of you with extra extra love, Greg, Robyn, Axel
A million prayers for you and baby Davis as he enters this world...I wish you and him love, strength, and courage. He will be a fighter, just like his beautiful mother and father!
At around 18 weeks gestation, our son, Davis Michael, was diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH is rare, occurring in approximately 1 in 3000 births, and is a hole or absence of the diaphragm that allows stomach contents to move into the chest. In our case, a large amount of intestinal matter and the stomach moved into Davis' chest, displacing his heart and compromising his lung growth. He was born on January 30, 2009 at 1:05 am, and finally discharged on March 10.

prayers are lifted up for you. Davis, fight that CDH monster nd we'll be here to cheer you on.
You mean Davis Michael has a mind of his own - imagine that - and they do what they want - it is a CDH trait.
Keeping you all in my thoughts, prayers and LUNG FUNCTION chants,
Elizabeth
