Dear friends and family,
On Monday, April 2nd, 2007, we went for our 20 week ultrasound and found out that we were having a baby girl. On Wednesday, April 4th, we found out that she has a high-risk birth defect called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). God is using this time to stretch us and test our faith, but we are holding tight to His promises.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Congratulations. July 24th is a great day to give birth. I’m glad you have this site. We’ve been getting updates a bit late. Didn’t know you were expecting until late April. Now that I know what is going on we will be praying for Ella’s health and your strength as you two go through this. If you ever need us, just call. We love you lots and lots.

Thank you Thank you Thank you for your blog! I’m a mother of a 25 week old preemie who developed chylothorax in Palm Harbor, Fl. The physicians here were killing my son. One night doing my endless search on the internet I came across your blog and Dr. Kays. I decided to write him and we have decided to transfer him to Gainsville tomorrow. I feel like we’re in good hands. Thank you again. I would love to speak with you even though my son did not have CDH he does have chylothorax. Post a comment
