I am a mother to a CDH angel. In 2011 just a few days after my son Silas' diagnosis in June at 20 wks I attended the annual conference for CDH which just happen to be in Florida this year (2011). My husband & I were panicked, heart broken, & lost. We showed up the last day & yet got welcomed w/open arms. Its funny because I called the number & spoke to Dawn. They had me on the phone w/Dr Shands right then & there after they heard our story. Since that day I have spoken to MANY Cherubs members. I got cards after the conference, emails, prayers & well-wishes. I have called Dawn hysterical at times & only gotten vm & quickly got a text back or a call to talk me through my episode. I have helped them in many ways such as talking to politicians, get a bill board campaign opportunity for the Cherubs & sent her my pics & video's of our sweet Silas to help raise awareness. Cherubs gave me hope when I needed it & answers too.. Thank you Dawn & Cherubs..
