SURGEON CALL....
10 years ago
Our son (Andrew) was diagnosed with a left sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) during our routine 17 week fetal ultrasound. The defect involves a hole in the diaphragm that allows the abdominal contents to reside in the chest, not leaving room for Andrew's lungs to develop properly. Shortly after birth he was also diagnosed with severe coarctation of the aorta. Andrew's long battle with CDH was cut short by a small bowel obstruction that they were unable to repair on October 30th, 2009.
Prayers and blessings for the Hobbs family. Be strong, Andrew!
