Looking for Heart Mamas!

Options
Hey Everyone!

I'm just looking for some fellow moms to friend whose children have congenital heart disease. My one year old has had 3 heart surgeries so far. We spend more time in the hospital than we do at home although we are on a record stretch right now *crosses fingers*. We've been out of hospital since July 4!

I'm taking this precious time at home to care for my amazing baby and to get healthy.

Hope to chat soon!

    Oh my heavens!! I can't even imagine going through heart issues. My son was born with a birth defect in his foot and has had 4 surgeries, the last of which they basically took his foot apart and put it back together & he was in a wheelchair for 2 months (he is 4). So I haven't had your issues, but I know how heartbreaking it can be to have a little one who is hurting and you can't do a thing for them. Much love to you and your little one!!!

    My 4-month old son was born with VSD (hole in his heart). He had surgery to patch the hole when he was 2 1/2 months old. He is doing great now! He shouldn't need any more surgeries, but we will be seeing his cardiologist still to keep an eye on it.

    I know one surgery was scary enough for me, I can't imagine three. Hope everything continues to go well!
