My son was diagnosed with CDH at 37 weeks. My wife and I had to scramble to find a new doctor and surgeon with CDH experience. In the end, my son was only in the hospital for 29 days even though he was born without a diaphragm at all. When my son was born the most important service CHERUBS could provide was support. Now that my son is doing so well, I've come to appreciate everything else they do from awareness of this birth defect to raising funds for much needed research.
