Welcome to My Closet and thank you for shopping.

Hello All my name is Meghan. All of my sales help support the care for my Son who was born with Congenital Diaphrmatic Hernia. What is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia? The diaphragm is a thin layer of muscle and tissue that separates the chest and abdominal cavity. It is the major muscle that the body uses to breathe. When your child has a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), it means that there’s a hole in that layer diaphragm. CDH affects about one in every 2,500 babies. In CDH, the contents of your child's abdomen, which may include the stomach, intestines, liver, and/or spleen, may go through the hole and into the chest. This prevents the normal development of the lung on that side, and also affects the growth of the other lung. When the organs from the abdomen prevent the lungs from growing, the poor lung growth is called pulmonary hypoplasia. Healthy lungs have millions of small air sacs (alveoli), each of which resembles a balloon filled with air. With pulmonary hypoplasia: There are fewer air sacs than normal. The air sacs that are present are only able to partially fill with air. The air sacs deflate easily because of problems with a lubricating fluid called surfactant.
