Heart Mommy's

So I am going to copy Katie's page because my brain hurts from work and I just finished my taxes! I'm not going to copy, copy, but I am going to talk about Heart Mommy's today.

Heart Mommy's are a special breed. Yes there are Heart Daddy's too, but Heart Mommy's are the soul of a child with CHD. We know our children like the backs of our hands. We know what medications they have been on and which one's they shouldn't take because of bad reactions. We know the special tricks to getting tricky blood pressures (laying down, Gabi laying beside and singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider). We know EVERYTHING about our heart child's medical care. We're very hands on, it's the only type of control that we have in this situation, so please let us have it :0) We are severely passionate about out children.

I was so blessed to be able to find a Mended Little Hearts Group here in Anchorage, because I know there are other Heart Mommy's out there. (Of course, while I was in Seattle having Sophia, there was an article in the paper about how AK leads the nation in CHD and how we don't have ANY surgeons here to deal with the problem) So it was refreshing to see someone who has to take the three hour plane ride to Seattle, people who have to live at the Ronald McDonald House or hotels just so their children can receive medical care.
