Isalya’s unborn baby girl, Nayla, had a bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) attached to her left lung, blocking the entire left side of her chest.
Upon her arrival the SSM Health St. Louis Fetal Care Institute team, diagnosed Julie with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS).
When Christina was only a few weeks into her pregnancy, they found out that there was a problem. Their tiny baby was suffering from a birth defect known as Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).
I could tell by the way the sonographer was acting that something was wrong.
It was my routine 34 week ultrasound when my doctor noticed that something was wrong. Within two days I was at SSM St. Mary’s Health Center seeing Dr. Erol Amon, who confirmed the Congenital Diaghragmatic Hernia diagnosis.
