CHD Awareness

Becoming a CHD Statistic was not a choice.

Being forced to learn about the heart and lung machine, open heart surgery and possibility of survival were not part of my education repertoire.

As a parent we take a silent oath to care for our children, make the life changing decisions to give them the best fighting chance and pray, hoping we made the right choice.

There is absolutely no consolable words you can say to a parent who just handed there child over to the surgeon.
I have lived the life of standing back watching your child take one breath at a time hoping they survive.

I have had to stand there helpless while attempts were made to get my child breathing again.

But I choose to be the proud mother of a CHD Survivor.

My daughter is part of the statistic that 1 in every 100 babies born each year is born with a Congenital Heart Defect. My daughter’s story is one of the lucky ones; her defect was found in enough time to save her life.

Since not all babies and their families are as fortunate as we are spreading awareness in all of its forms is vital.

In Honor of all CHD Babies and Angels we are spreading Congenital Heart Defect Awareness, in hopes that awareness will save lives.
