Baby Luna's CDH Story: 2 Months Old!

2 Months Old!

I can't believe my little miracle baby is two months old already. Although it feels like time has flown since the day she was born, I try very hard to take it appreciate each day as a gift from God. I just love waking up and seeing her beautiful face next to me every day. She is the best thing that has happened to me.

Here are some beautiful pictures of my Luna...

What is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)?

CDH is characterized by the development, very early in gestation, of a hole in the diaphragm, the breathing muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. As a result, the intestines and other abdominal organs can move into the chest and compress the developing lungs. This prevents the lungs from growing and developing normally which can cause reduced blood flow to the lungs and pulmonary hypertension.

CDH occurs in about 1 in every 2, 500 live births. The cause of CDH is not yet known. Roughly 50% of babies born with CDH do not survive. Of the 50% that do survive, most will endure long hospital stays, feeding issues, asthma, and other medical problems.
