Prayers for the Moscona family. Same goes to you cleeveclever and Dubosed. As the father of a 18 month old, I could not fathom the heartache you all are feeling. May The Lord watch over you all and your families.

I second that. Fathers of the OT, especially ones with congenital defects or other problems out of their control, you have my sympathy and heart.. especially those that have lost young ones.

Weekend before last we went on a benefit poker run for Nieman-Pick disease. The ride was named in honor a little girl who had died of this disease a few years before. Before we left out they showed a video of this little girl's life and her father stood up and said some words as well. When he was done there was about 100 bikers in the room wiping tears from their eyes. Parents who lose a child and can still function have my respect.

Man, pray for that family. Babies don't deserve that, hell children in general don't deserve that. Be tough little man.

Will you update this thread when there's any news? Was reading that a Hospital in Boston has their success rate up around 90% so I hope that's his chances too.

There are a few specialty centers around the country. There's one in Ohio and also one in Gainsville that boats high success rates.
Unfortunately, those success rates are based on children who had no other congenital or genetic issues in concert with CDH. In about half the diagnosed cases, there is another larger issue present which significantly impacts the prognosis.
The surgery to repair the hernia post-birth is actually pretty routine. The problem is that the hernia allows the abdomen organs (stomach, bowel, liver, etc.) to move into the chest cavity, displacing the heart and compressing the tiny lung buds which in-turn impedes lung development.
If baby Drew's lungs got an ok head start before the organs intruded into the chest, he has a good chance and Houston Childrens is a great place to be. They are the closest place with the best reputation that has ECMO (a lung bypass method of sorts) if needed. There is ECMO in New Orleans but apparently it is in a different facility from the NICU.
It's really scary stuff and I wish I never had to do a second of research on this condition.
