Welcome to Max's blog. Max was born on 02/11/09 at 34 weeks (4lb 10oz) with a left sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH occurs when a hole in the diaphragm allows many of the organs, in Max's case his bowel, intestines and part of his liver, into the chest. This stopped the growth of the left lung and also squashed the heart. Max was given a 50% chance of survival when diagnosed at my 20 wk scan but you will see from my pictures and updates what a true 'miracle' he really is.

Christmas in Glasgow
We had a great Christmas day with Grandma & Grandpa. Max got lots of lovely presents and was very excited to rip all the paper off - infact he was happy to just play with it and some boxes, typical.
Max now has his operation date, so he will be going back into the hospital on 5th January for his re-herniation surgery on the 6th. Simon and I just want it to be here now but at the same time we don't. Max is so happy and chilled and to put him through such an invasive op is hard but he needs to have it done as leaving it is also life threatening.
I hope you all have a lovely New year and I will update when I can on how Max is doing post-op.
