Last week we had the joy of returning to Children's Hospital where we had Myles' 6 month post surgery check up. Not too many CDH parents see these visits as a joy. We are beyond thankful for the way God miraculously healed our little boy.
We had to get a follow up X-ray done on Myles to check on his lungs.
He just took it all in stride and didn't even fuss until they had to tape his cheeks so they would be out of the way. Ha!! What a problem to have.
Up in clinic, they weighed Mr. Myles fully clothed, and he was a whopping 18 pounds! Eating is clearly not an issue for him!
We were told that we have no worries regarding his health, and that we can treat him just like our other 2 kiddos. In his words, "Forget this ever happened."
Obviously, he knows this isn't possible, but for all practical purposes, we don't need to freak out unnecessarily when Myles develops a cold.
God is just so good. So kind.
I want to share the X-rays So you can see this miracle for yourselves.
Here is Myles chest before repair surgery.
You can see his heart was being pushed all the way over to his right side. The small space next to his heart on the left side, is his left lung. Squished. His right lung isn't even visible, but was being crowded by the heart. Below the lung on his left is a round space, which is his stomach. It shouldn't be there. Which was the problem. ( you can see the feeding tube there)
Now....here is the X-ray from last weeks visit.
Myles is as healthy as any other baby his age, and we know Who to thank for that!!
"O sing unto the Lord a new song; for He has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, has gotten him the victory." Psalm 98:1
