Hi everyone, and welcome to all new members
who've joined while I've been away!<br>Firstly, a BIG
thankyou to Jules for keeping up with the post, It's going
to take me a few days to read all the new messages,
so please bear with me!<br>To anyone who doesn't
know, I founded the club after our daughter Sophie was
diagnosed with left CDH at 8 months of age. She is now 2
years and running around like a normal 2 year old. I've
not been around for a couple of weeks because we've
just been on holiday in Florida...and what a greast
time we had, especially Sophie!<br>When I get the
photos developed, I'm going to scan some so you can all
see how Sophie is and how normal she looks now after
all the surgery and hip spicas.<br>I look forward to
reading the post and getting to know all you new members
out there....I can't say that it's great to be home,
after the weather over there was in the early 80's, and
here it's like the arctic to me!!<br>Chat very
soon<br>Liz xx
