Good Morning to all of my friends! Today is an especially good morning for me. As you may notice, I do not look terribly happy in the very unflattering photograph to the left but look much happier in the one on the right. What is the difference? The left photograph = catheter insertion and the right photograph = yesterday's catheter removal. Although I have the nicest and most beautiful nurses in the whole wide world, the straws that they insert into my nether regions are just not that small. Many-a-CDH-baby can sympathize with the relief that comes with straw-removal days.
But what is even more exciting, at least for me, is that I may get another straw removed tomorrow--my throat straw! That particular straw is what helps me to breathe. Dr. Kays tells me that I probably don't need it anymore. My mum and dad are a bit nervous to see if I can already breathe on my own, but Dr. Kays thinks that I am progressing super fast! Things change on a hourly/daily basis in the world of CDH, but tomorrow looks to be the day when my lungs may meet the world!
I would like to thank all of my friends for their prayers and continued support. I would not have been able to make it this far without you. I would also like to thank my newest friend, who believe it or not, is also named Noah Abner. Stay tuned for the big reveal tomorrow. Your CDH pal, Noah.

Wow, such great news Noah. Baby steps and little breaths, you are amazing.

Wow I am so excited to hear the news Noah! So guess what? After they take out your throat straw and you start to get your voice back, don't be surprised if you scare yourself to hear your own voice cry out! You are such a trooper - keep fighting tiger - I am so proud of you! And praying for you daily...
