We are very thankful for moms like Erin Hartzell, who share their story and help us gain perspective into the world of congenital heart disease. Those who have never walked in CHD shoes, will never fully understand all of the emotion and trauma associated with diagnosis, surgery, recovery, and strength required by these amazing families.
Today you hear Erin share her 13-year-old daughter's journey from diagnosis to surgery, amazing supports, as well as help identify other real-life struggles families in the CHD community face daily.
Erin shares some very valid and real conversation identifying emotions some families have as they rush through or avoid February and Heart Month. Many families struggle to celebrate and reflect because of how hard it is to remember their difficult journey; and it's hard to acknowledge there are others who have buried their babies/children because of a CHD diagnosis.
We are thankful to have Erin's voice provide perspective, awareness, conversation and education about Congenital Heart Disease/Defects (CHD).
