Did You Know? - CDH can occur alone or with other birth defects. In a small percentage of cases, CDH occurs with a syndrome such as Fryn's, Trisomy 18 or others. We encourage all CDH families to seek genetic counseling.
Meet Our Cherubs! - Ava Elaine was diagnosed with CDH two weeks before birth. Her valiant fight for life began on 10/22/10 at Children's in Dallas, TX. Ava went on ECMO on day 2 and a successful had repair surgery on day 7 after overcoming a brain hemorrhage and blood clot. She Sweet Ava drew a close-knit family even closer, made everyone who knew her want to hold their children tighter and captured the hearts of many. Ava earned her wings on the 47th day as heaven welcomed a beautiful angel.
"Ava was endowed with a unique grace that those who knew her could feel. Perhaps she was a vehicle for a greater force or maybe she possessed a larger-than-life charisma. Ava made me want to be a better doctor, to push beyond the limits of my usual practice, to find new solutions to intractable problems. She made me want to make others care deeply for her, too. She brought a team closer together than ever in our experience at Children's. Surgeons, pediatricians, ECMO specialists, nurses, and respiratory therapists worked hand in glove to try to save Ava. She was the center of our universe, we mere planets with a skill or two." ~ Dr. Thomas, Children's Medical Center.
Fly High and Breathe Easy, Sweet Ava.
