Our son Maxton was diagnosed with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at his 19 week ultrasound. Maxton was born on 3/3/09 at Vanderbilt University. He fought hard for 18 days but earned his wings on 3/21/09. Maxton was an inspiration to many during his brief time on earth and has forever changed our lives. If your child is diagnosed with CDH, please feel free to contact us. Maxton may no longer live here on earth, but he will live forever in our hearts...

Quick Update

I was so scared that the chest tube would cause an episode and Maxton's settings would have to be increased. Luckily, that has not been the case thus far. This morning his oxygen was down to 62 and the vent setting is now down to 39 from 49. :-) I am so happy my little Hoss is hanging in there. I know he is fighting so hard and am hoping he has another day with some baby steps forward.
