On November 23rd, 2008 Bodee Mark Vierig was born with a left-sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH is a life-threatening birth defect that occurs in approximately 1 in every 2500 live births and has a 50% survival rate. It involves a hole in the diaphragm of the fetus that allows intestinal organs to herniate into the chest cavity and therefore compresses the developing lungs. Please read our blog to see Bodee's amazing fight against CDH!
