The days are getting easier, and Abigail is continuing to grow. Her sister Lillian is hitting all her milestones and developing normally. It's nice having a community like TinyHero to connect and share experiences with other CDH parents around the country.

Today, Sofia is 3 ½ years old. She is strong-willed, vocal, stubborn, and a leader. She knows what she wants and fights to get it. I have no doubt these traits helped her fight for her recovery. Sofia’s yearly follow-up appointments and x-rays have all been met with good news, so we continuously pray it stays that way.
