Although the definition is so simple, "a problem with the heart's structure and function that is present at birth," the real life experience is so much more complicated. 1 in every 10 children are born with CHD, and some are not even aware of it until later in life, when it may be too late. My daughter Savannah Hope was diagnosed with Shone's Complex, and was born on September 20th 2012. She is m
y number 1 heart warrior, and if you saw her today, you would only imagine that she is a crazy, beautiful, healthy 2 year old with not a worry in the world. It took a lot of support and strength to get where she is today!! And although our daughter recovered and came home from the hospital soon after her procedure was finished, there is much awareness to be raised for those who do not have the same story as Savannah Hope. She was in the hospital for which felt like forever, but was only 16 days.. she returned home on October 6th, which was the same day another on of my heart warriors, Ashley Amore, was taken from us to get her wings.. I believe they are obviously connected!
