Fan Mail
Thank you for your podcast. I think it's encouraging to hear from other Mom's that have gone through similar experiences with their children. My son is 18 years old and was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He's had 3 open heart surgeries and 7 heart catheterizations. I remember feeling isolated going through his surgeries. Not knowing or be able to talk to anyone with a similar diagnosis. We've fought so hard to keep our son alive and healthy. Being an advocate for your child is extremely difficult and the most rewarding thing you can go through. Praying for your children that they continue to be healthy.
