Lots Of Babies

Carter is doing very well and they continue to increase his feeds each day. We had a great day yesterday with lots of milestones, so I'll post pics and details later when I have more time.

I wanted to post to ask for prayers and warm thoughts for a few other families who need them.

• On Monday, November 17, another CDH baby was born at Duke. Christopher was placed on ECMO very soon after birth and is continuing his run. He has a Right-sided CDH. We spoke with his mom over the weekend and she's understandably frightened.
• On Sunday, November 23, another CDH baby was born in Jacksonville, NC and transferred by helicopter to Duke. Bodie's (I hope I'm spelling that correctly) parents did not know he has a Left CDH until birth. We met his Dad last night and hope to meet mom as soon as she can travel to Duke. He's such a cutie and seems to be doing well.
• Today one of my co-workers has a final hearing in the process to adopt a beautiful little girl who they have been raising since she was an infant. They are great parents and certainly deserve for the courts to formally recognize them as such.
