Help Baby Roman Burkes
Shortly after finding out we were pregnant during one our first anatomy scans, our baby boy was diagnosed with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH is a condition that affects about 1 in every 3,600 babies. Babies with CDH are born with a hole in their diaphragm, allowing for organs to move into the chest and compromise the development of the lungs. The larger the hernia, the more organs can migrate up. Our baby had his intestines, stomach, spleen, and part of his liver move up into his chest.
