Myla Faith- was born on June 19, 2017 to Casey & Hannah Goss

of Wenatchee, WA.

Myla’s CDH diagnoses meant that she had a hole in

her diaphragm which allowed some of her organs to

move into her chest and prevented proper lung

development. When she was born, she had part of

her bowel, kidneys and 60% of her liver up in her

chest.

After dong their own research and consulting with

the specialists in Seattle, the Goss family decided to

relocate to St. Petersburg, FL to see a specialist at

Johns Hopkins -All Children’s Hospital.

At 20 weeks gestation, Myla was

diagnosed with Congenital

Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and the

Goss’ were told she would need

life-saving surgery shortly after birth.

Myla’s story continued...

About a month after the Goss family arrived in Florida,

Myla was born, weighing exactly 7 lbs. and measuring 18 ¼

inches long. Myla was placed on ECMO (heart and lung

bypass) 18 hours after birth and remained on ECMO for 20 long

days. She was intubated for a month and could not be held

during that time.

She had two major surgeries to put her organs back in their

proper place and to patch her diaphragm. Myla also had

another surgery to remove a blood clot that had formed around

her heart.

Myla spent 64 days in the NICU and the Goss’ resided in

Florida from the beginning of May, until they were

allowed to make their long trek home to Wenatchee

on August 31st.

As Myla’s journey continues, we feel honored to be a small part of her life

and to call her a “Friend of Mia”.

“We have HOPE ... We are trusting

in God’s plan for our family. Thank you

to everyone who has been and

continues to pray for our family.”
