The Apple Buzz: Another update

In November 2007, our unborn daughter was found to have a condition called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), which occurs in 1 out of every 2,500 pregnancies. Basically, our daughter’s diaphragm had a hole in it that had allowed her stomach, liver, and some intestines to pass into the upper regions of her chest cavity. Her chest was too overcrowded to allow her lungs to fully develop. She was given slim odds to survive and worse odds to thrive.

Our daughter, Jillian Olivia, was born in the Spring of 2008. Since her birth, Jill had two surgeries during her first year and has since thrived.

We started this site to chronicle our experiences throughout this journey and to keep our family members and friends up-to-date on Jill's condition. Now we use this site to update others on what's going on in our lives.

Another update

In order to keep this blog as current as possible, and at the request (and permission) of Judy and Bryan, I'm guest writing to let you know that as of tonight Judy and Bryan are staying in a guest room at St.Lukes at the advice of her doctors until Judy delivers their daughter, which could be any time now.

Bryan and Judy appreciate your continued prayers for each them over the next few critical days.

Prayerfully,

Robin (Smith) Riger
