 Karen Myers
Karen Myers, is the mother to Kaleigh Marie who was born on 30 July 2002. She
was born at Wilford Hall Medical Center, in San Antonio TX, after learning at 20
weeks gestation she would be born with a left sided Congenital Diaphragmatic
Hernia. She spent 10 days on ECMO and had her CDH repair on her 15th day of
life. During her repair her spleen cracked and that had to be repaired as well.
Unfortunatley she passed away when she was 17 days old, the pulmonary
hypertension proved to be to much for her. I am also the mother to another
angel, William Logan, who was stillborn on 27 May 2005, at 27 weeks gestation,
due to non-immune hydrops fetalis. After much testing and genetics couseling it
was deemed that there was no connection between the CDH and Hydrops we just got
struck by 2 different lighting bolts. They are buried sde by side at the
National Cemetary in Biloxi Mississippi where my husband and I will be layed to
rest with them one day.
I am also the mother to 3 other beautiful
children. Alec, who will be 18 soon and off to college. Aubrey, who is 6 and
loving the 1st grade and Jackson, who is 18 months and into everything. I also
have a wonderful husband, Will, who is active duty Air Force and I am a stay at
home mom. We currently reside in San Antonio Tx but move when the Military says
so. I have been a member of CHERUBS since finding out about Kaleighs CDH and
wouldn't be the somewhat sane person I am today with out all of the volunteers
love and support over the years as well as all the wonderful parents I have met
along the way who journey through this horrible defect together.
