Doctor's Visit

I went to the doctor for my glucose test and the weekly check up on the baby. My glucose test came back negative and Addison is growing and has no fluid build up in her chest or abdomen. Currently, her estimated weight is 2 lbs 9 oz. They said that she is very active and doing well.

Jason and I have decided to go to UCSF for the delivery and after care for Addison. I will have to go to San Francisco in my 36th week and stay until the induction.

Marion,

Just wanted to let you know that we are following your journey. I am Olivia Basset's grandfather (Papa Don). I have been amazed at the support we have had from other CDH families and want to ensure you that you have a broader support group out there than you can even imagine. Please lean on us when you need to.

Our hearts and prayers are with you and Addison.

Here are my best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and prayers for an exceptional New Year.

Papa Don

Hello! I'm happy to have found your blog. My daughter was born with CDH on January 18, 2008.

I hate knowing that anyone is having to deal with the emotional ups, downs and fears of CDH. Know that you have many families to offer support who have been down this road before.

I wish you the best and will be keeping up with Addision.

Best Wishes!
