Claire was diagnosed with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia birth defect during her 19-week ultrasound. She was born in June 2007 in Birmingham, AL. She had repair surgery when she was 6 days old and was in the hospital for 22 days. She had surgery again when she was 3 years old to fix a re-herniation, and she also began wearing a brace for CDH-related scoliosis.
Happy Birthday Claire!!! Here are some pictures and video from her party this weekend. She loved her cake, especially the fiery candle. And she got some toys and books and other gifts, including a Minnie Mouse hat from her cousin Casey who works at Disney World.
Happy 2nd birthday Claire! I love all your recent pictures. I can't believe how big she is and how many words she can say. Once Jack expands his vocabulary we'll have to let them Skype!
I have a question for you...I think you're the only other CDH parent of a toddler- Noah seems to be having some reflux problems again & is throwing up about once a week- has Claire had any problems with reflux since she's been older? My email is morgans0912@bellsouth.net
