Hospital for a checkup

Kaden has the hospital tomorrow in Edinburgh for his 6 month check up since having his back brace fitted.Last time his curve was 38 without the brace and 25 with the brace so hopefuly tomorrow it'll be the same or better.We have a early morning ahead as the hospital is a 2.5 - 3 hour drive from here.Fingers crossed all will be well :)

'Kadens Journey'

This about our unborn son Kaden who was diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia known as CDH while in my womb at 18 weeks.After hearing about the condition and all possible outcomes we decided to give our baby the best chance in life.The doctors gave him a 50/50 chance of survival.Knowing our unborn baby had a long fight ahead we picked a name for him with a meaning - Kaden means ;fighter and he did exactly that.At 37 weeks gestation we had a MRI scan to find most of our babys organs were in his chest - his stomach,spleen,left lobe of his liver,bowel and intestines.At 39+1 weeks Kaden was born by c-section on Wednesday 25th July 2007.Kaden was operated on at day2 to have his organs put back where they belong.After an emotional 6 weeks of which Kaden spent 4 weeks in intensive care and a further 2 weeks in the Neo-natal.
Kaden was allowed home on the Wednesday 5th September 2007.
Kaden has had 4 operations in all - 1 lifesaving op at day 2,1 fundo and gastrostomy and 2 hernia repairs.
Although Kaden has feeding issues - we are so proud of 'Our Special Little Boy'who continues to thrive every day.And we are so Thankful to have 'Our miracle'.
