Surviving the CDH Journey with Other Kids
I was so worried that I was ruining my kids’ lives by moving them so far from everything they knew, and it turns out I had nothing to worry about. My children were positively spoiled by the love and attention from everyone out there, they made lifelong friends, and got amazing experiences they would not have been able to experience otherwise.
8 Fundraising Tips to Support your CDH Journey
Once you are given a CDH diagnosis, several things generally come to mind, one of which may be, “How Will I afford a CDH baby?” The idea of medical bills, time off work, and expenses related to relocating may make everything seem impossible. However, there are several things you can do to begin saving and help offset the cost.
There is Hope for your CDH Baby
If you aren’t given hope, if the doctors do not believe in your babies ability to survive, get a second or third opinion. Seek out a quality CDH surgeon at a hospital that has a top-notch CDH program. Find someone that believes in your baby’s ability to survive and thrive. Find someone that will fight for them every step of the way and has the skills to redefine impossible.
