We ask all CDH parents to make sure to get your information from honest, reliable sources like CHERUBS (we have a Medical Advisory team), hospitals, and members of ACDHO. We know there are a lot of CDH groups, sites and blogs on the internet and information can be conflicting, confusing and overwhelming. Please never take advice from another CDH parent or anyone without a medical degree - and only take medical advice from doctors who have seen your child or his / her medical records.
