We are participating in the Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital on June 9 because Boston Children's Hospital gave us so much hope and faith when after Brooks' diagnosis and we want to help more families have the same positive impact.
At Brooks' 20 week ultrasound, our local doctors noticed something was wrong with Brooks and recommended we go to Boston Children's Hospital to figure out what might be happening. At first they thought it was something else but the team ultimately determined he had CDH.
I can not say enough about how the hospital and their CDH team helped us feel confident in the treatment plan even with all the uncertainties that surrounded it. We were lucky in that Brooks had plenty of time to get big and strong and we were able to get him strong enough to go home in 40 days.
It was the hardest time our family has endured with Brooks' older sister still at home but Boston Children's Hospital did everything in their power to reduce our stress and give us the confidence we needed that our baby boy would be okay
