FYI

Treatment Options for DH

Whether a family chooses to terminate the pregnancy or carry to term for postnatal management, accurate counseling regarding the expected outcome is crucial. For CDH fetuses with chromosomal anomalies, survival would be rare.

Postnatal management strategies include planned delivery, immediate stabilization, and immediate access to specialized ventilation techniques including nitric oxide and ECMO. In rare cases, a specialized delivery technique, known as the Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment (EXIT) procedure, which can offer immediate ECMO cannulation, may be an option.

Thank you for that link, JP.
I was familiar with this condition, but I had no idea it occurred in one out of every 2500 births!

I will be praying hard for little Cooper. I know the severity of his problem.

God, please, we ask another miracle for this little boy.
We hold up little Cooper for your healing power.
Please hear our prayers, dear Lord.

We pray, also, dear Lord, for your strength to help the family through this terrible time in their lives.
Help the family pull together, dear Lord.
We pray in Jesus name.
Amen.

Thank you for the info, Piper, and for the update on little Cooper. Keeping him close in prayer for healing according to the will of our almighty and all knowing God. Prayers for Alfred, and all of the family as they go through this very difficult time.

Continued prayers for Cooper and entire family. May God Bless and Protect him. And may he give strength to the whole family to get them through this time.

May God watch over Cooper's five yr.old brother who I know doesn't understand any of this. My prayers being offered for him too. This kind of situation isn't easy on young siblings either....they just can't express it. May his angels light and guard and rule and guide him, Amen.
