Elizabeth's Story
I currently live in the town of Danville (eastbay) which is approx. an hour from San Francisco. I moved to Northern Ca. in September, 1999. I love it up here. I work for a police department as animal control officer. If you watch animal cops on animal planet then you kind of get an idea of what I do.
I got married on May 27, 2006. We have a chihuahua named Twinkie, a mini dachshund named Molly and a cat Max.

CDH occurs in every 1-2000 live births in the United States. Approximately 1,800 babies are born each year with CDH. Approximately 50% of all babies born with CDH die. CDH happens just as often as Spina Bifida and Cystic Fibrosis yet many have never heard of CDH.

I would love to hear from any of you and what you have been up to.
