Kaden Alex Kuehl

Kaden lost his battle with CDH on April 20, 2009 after 17 days of fighting. Please keep his family in your prayers. I know what a hard time they both face in the coming days and weeks. I just pray that they will have the support sytem that Jason and I have been blessed with during this journey.

Maxton's Mommy said...: I know.. I am beside myself over here. Plus, it has been one month since Maxton passed. I was so angry this morning after reading about Kaden that I just wanted to throw something and break it!!! AHHHH!!!!! sorry, had to vent. I hope you are dealing okay today. I know how sad I am for them.. it is almost like Maxton died all over again. :-( Love you!!!; April 21, 2009 at 8:00 AM

What is CDH?

A congenital diaphragmatic hernia (commonly known as CDH) is an opening in the diaphragm (The dome-shaped muscle that seperates the chest cavity from the abdomen.) It occurs at approximately 9 weeks gestation, when the diaphragm, for an unkonown reason, fails to close completely. The hole allows the abdominal organs to push into the chest cavity. CDH is a life-threatening birth defect because it limits the growth of the lungs.

CDH occurs in every 1-2500 live births in the United States. Approximately 1,800 babies are born each year with CDH. Approximately 50% of all babies born with CDH die. CDH happens just as often as Spina Bifida and Cystic Fibrosis yet many have never heard of CDH.
