The Apple Buzz: Finally...More Photos

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.

Finally...More Photos

We have added new photos and videos on our Flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/3apples). The June 2008 and July 2008 sets have new photos.

Jill is doing pretty well. She is still quite small for being almost four months old, somewhere around the 5th percentile in weight. Please keep praying for her.
