"freakin' awesome"
Just a quick update on Davis' cardiology visit yesterday. Dr. McGovern said (and I quote) that Davis was "freakin' awesome." He was so impressed with his progress and not concerned about anything at all. We'll still go back in a couple of months to be extra careful, but we are so happy that our little man got such a fantastic report card! Go Davis!
Way to go Davis! You are "freakin' awesome" and your kickin' some CDH butt, too! Congrats on a terrific visit! Keep it up, Little Man! We're all very excited for all of you!
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.
