| Introduction | Our son Jim Beau was born with a birth defect called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), in which the diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to migrate to the chest. Although 50% of the babies born with CDH do not survive, we found HOPE for Jim Beau at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL with a surgeon named Dr. David Kays. Their survival rate for CDH babies is unprecedented. Jim Beau was also born with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. He had open heart surgery at Shands on March 9. |
