{ Elaina's story }

I was blessed with a completely normal, uneventful pregnancy, from all-day "morning" sickness that stopped like magic at 14 weeks to an ultrasound at 19 weeks that revealed a normal, healthy little girl. At 29 weeks, through a series of God-orchestrated events, we learned that our daughter had an abnormal mass in her chest, which was eventually diagnosed as a congenital diaphragmatic hernia {CDH}. Here are links to Miss Peanut's story, from the beginning of the pregnancy through her birth, surgery and hospitalization.
