Being able to hug her, see her smile, hear her babble is the best gift God could have given us. She's such a strong and intelligent baby. I can't wait to see what she does in life. I'm so happy Elizabeth chose us to be her parents.

Trey has been through a lot but always bounces back better than before. Yesterday, he started his senior year of high school. He is a strong, funny, and kind CDH survivor. Now, he is 17 years old and the light of our lives!

This was a long hard battle. I would do it a hundred times over for the life of my baby. Elisha is a fighter, and I'm proud to say that. I think this helped him through it all. Today, he will be 15 in September.

That day you first learn the words “Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia” is one you will never forget. May 10, 2019, will forever be a hard day for me. Only two days before my first Mother’s Day, our world was shattered.

Jack is almost 6. He has had a bumpy ride. While he is still facing challenges, he doesn't let them get in his way. He is my Tiny Hero.

Leah is the most content, alert and happy wee girl! We appreciate every single minute with her. She is perfect, and people are shocked when they learn her story as she doesn't look like she was ever sick!

Cole continues to grow, laugh, and exceed our expectations every day. According to his pediatrician, he is in the 40-50 percentile for his weight, height, and head measurements.

Cash currently holds the record for the quickest CDH recovery at that children’s hospital. He is now 5 1/2 months old and thriving!

If you take anything from this long story of ours, it's that your kid isn't the only one that survives CDH; you do, too. None of this is your fault, and you're doing the best you can, so allow yourself some grace.

I'm forever grateful to her surgical team and the NICU staff, as well as our community, who rallied around us with donations, support, and prayers. Today, Brynlee is off all of her medication, developmentally on track, and the joy of my heart.

We never expected her CDH journey to be that quick, but we are so lucky that it was. You would never know what that first month of her life entailed, and there will never be enough thank you’s in the world to thank Dr. Hedrick and every other doctor/nurse who took care of her. She is our strong and brave little girl, and she has been a rockstar since day one.

Cooper is our miracle and our CDH warrior! He is currently 8 months old, fully weaned from the NG tube, and doing so well!

We are so incredibly proud of Scarlett and everything she has overcome. She continues to amaze us daily with her strength, we are so blessed to be her parents, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!

Today Navy is one year old. He's SO close to walking. He eats food of all kinds. He loves dancing, swimming in the pool and going to the beach. He gets a huge smile whenever he sees Mickey Mouse or his sister. He is his mommy's sweet cuddler and daddy's wild baby.

Teagan continues to amaze us with her strength and resilience. She is the sweetest girl. She loves her brother and her dog. She has the biggest smile and a light that shines so bright. There is hope after a CDH diagnosis, and we can’t imagine our family without our tiny hero Teagan!

In his short three years, this brave boy has taught us more than we ever could have imagined. He lives life to the fullest and touches everyone's heart. We are so very proud of all of his accomplishments!

CDH is just a part of who my Landon is now, but because of what he has gone through, he can do anything. Landon is a survivor. He is a CDH survivor. He is an ECMO survivor.

Wyatt doesn't let anything stop him! He is full of energy, loves being outside, swimming, fishing, and playing baseball! He is such a fighter, and we know that he is destined for great things in his very bright future!

I had never heard of CDH before that day. Our original OB was wonderful and got us into a specialist the next day. We spent the next 20 weeks attending weekly appointments and meetings with different specialists before Bailee was born at 39 weeks in a pre-scheduled delivery.

You learn so much in those first few days. It's so much to wrap your head around. But we clung to the smallest things people said that gave us hope.
