A little angel named Avery

Hi all,
Lindsey found a site about a little angel named Avery who was born in Canada, like Immie with CDH. Avery's mum, Lauren has started this site for the same reasons as us, to bring awareness to diaphragmatic hernia and to offer hope. Avery gave Lauren 17 happy days before being taken away, but Lauren's attitude is amazing, she is a very strong lady. We will be putting a link to her site shortly but you can visit her site at http://laurenziebart.spaces.live.com/. Also as part of the site is links and stories of CDH survivors. This is a site that Linz and I now have in our favourites and are sure to keep a regular update. God bless you Avery XX

Lauren emailed the following:

Dear Barry,

I would be so honoured if you could link Avery's site to yours. Thank you so very much for asking me. I read what Lindsey wrote in Avery's guestbook and immediately visited Imogen's site. She is such a beautiful girl and every survivor I read about fills me with hope that CDH will one day be no more. I read every single word on her site, and it filled me with so many emotions - there was so much familiarity. I wanted to comment, but was unable to find out how, and I want you to know that I am so happy that you wrote. Please feel free to link Avery's website, as my ultimate goal was to share her with the world, and raise awareness of this birth defect that I had never heard of until it touched my life. God bless Imogen and your family. May she continue to thrive.

Love Lauren
