CDH International’s featured patient of the week is Isabelle Thomas. Isabelle is still in the NICU fighting hard, her mom had this to share:
“This is our sweet little girl Isabelle. She was born with left sided CDH. Isabelle did one week on ECMO, had her CDH repair, got a Gtube and nissen, has pulmonary hypertension (went into a pulmonary hypertension crisis) and had to get a trach. It’s been a very rough road, but she’s still fighting. She’s almost 9 months old and still in the hospital. Hoping to get home soon.”
