Just by chance....

First off, I want to say that Craig & I picked Kaden's name the day after our ultrasound when we found out he was a boy. BEFORE we knew there was a problem. We THOUGHT the name meant "companion". The day of our first appointment @ UCSF, I was on the phone with Liz Nelson (Nayeli's mommy) and she mentioned that Kaden meant "warrior". When I mentioned it to Craig, he was like "I thought it meant companion". I was thinking, that's what I thought. I really just forgot about it until I started making this blog and I noticed on Liz's blog for Nayeli that there are 4--count them FOUR--baby boys with CDH named Kaden. I have to be honest, it gave me a nervous feeling. THEN,I remembered what Liz had said and I decided to look up the meaning of his name again, and it does mean fighther/warrior!! NOW I understand the name choice, but we picked Kaden BEFORE we knew about the CDH....God really speaks to us every day in subtle ways! I just thought I would share....

    it's such an appropriate name. Little Kaden will certainly be a fighter. It's amazing how God speaks to us without us being aware of it at the time. God is so good. :-) Praying for you.

    Cadenne (pronounced Kaden) is our granddaughter's name. It was picked because of its meaning, and is very appropriate for a CDH baby. She was born in Dec 2007 with CDH and is today a beautiful one year old who is thriving. She was true to her name. She was a "fighter" for sure, and I pray your little one will be as well! If you are interested, check out my daughter's blog at kariabi.blogspot.com If you scroll down there is a video that depicts the first year of her life. Hope that encourages you!
