We want to share our Everett with the world. We had his name picked out before he was born. While he was in the hospital, we learned that Everett means “brave, strong, and resilient.” He quickly became known as Everett the Brave!

Hazel had her repair surgery at 9 days old. Dr. Kays said her hole was huge. She had a full right lung and a nub for a left lung. He told us how Hazel really was a unique one. She ended up being bi-lateral, which is obviously the worst case, but had the best type of hernia to have a Morgagni hernia (an opening through the front instead of the back).
