<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Gravely ill" are the words used to describe our first born child. A two percent chance was all they gave him to survive, but by the grace of God, modern medical technology, and countless professionals, our child is alive today. It's the challenges that lied ahead that made us who we are today. Hours old Christopher underwent surgery to repair a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. He was then transported from New Jersey to the children's hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, for an experimental procedure called ECMO. Christopher then spent nine weeks at children's before coming home to NJ, requiring oxygen, gastrostomy tube feedings, and around-the-clock care. During his first year of life, he was hospitalized eighteen times with life threatening emergencies. He was diagnosed with a hypoplastic lung, pulmonary hypertension, GI reflux, hydrocephalus, scoliosis, and an enlarged heart. Christopher is truly a medical miracle who has paved the way for many to follow. As his mother, I will take you through the obstacles and triumphs of our lives, in hopes that you will gain understanding of the emotional and spiritual impact that catastrophic illness can have on a child and his family. Christopher's body and spirit were often pushed to the breaking point. In his own words, he describes how he overcame every challenge life offered him. His physical pain, emotional suffering, and spiritual breakthrough will inspire you. You are not alone, and there is hope for a normal life! God's grace abounds.</p>
