Lincoln was born with a rare diaphragm defect known as right-sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) on May 26th, 2011. We were told that Lincoln had little more than 50% chance of survival. Linc fought hard for his life in the beginning, coming very close to losing his life. After 83 days in the NICU, Lincoln came home to us. He remains strong and stubborn, and is now a happy, healthy one year old. This blog documents his life.

The Search is Over
Today was my third "new mom" interview at a pediatrician for Lincoln and the search is over! I like the location, the size of the practice, the staff and especially the familiarity of the doc with Lincoln's condition and affiliation with Children's Hospital. She is on staff at Children's so she will be able to visit him in the NICU and have access to all of his files online, which will make it that much easier for the neonatologists at Children's to stay in touch with her. Most importantly I felt the most comfortable with this doctor compared to the other two that I interviewed. She seemed knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. Now I'll just need to inform the docs at Barnes that she will be Lincoln's primary pediatrician and they will contact her when he arrives. One more thing crossed off the list to prepare for Lincoln's arrival!
