Awesome song and video our little boy daniel has open heart surgery at 7 weeks for arterial switch and a VSD. He is two in a couple of weeks and is so happy smiley and healthy this video made me laugh and cry and the same time so inspiring for those facing surgery to show that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks and don't ever stop sharing your talent.
Love this video and song! My little guy is a CHD baby (TOF w/pulmonary atresia) and I'm so proud of him:) There's something amazing about these CHD babies/adults, they are my heros! God bless all of our CHD loved ones!
My sweet little girl could have been in that video. At five months she had surgery for arterial septal defect and partial anonymous pulmonary vein return and she did wonderful. When she was three she had to have surgery again for the PAPVR because it came back. She is nearly five now and every time I look at her I am reminded of the miracle she is. Thank you for capturing this miracle so well in song.
28 years years later ... I'm so glad to LOOK AT ME NOW :) Thank you MARK for doing this for all of us who have survived CHD!!!!! It's great to know we are making strides to have a full lovely life!!!!
What a beautiful video ! And a good song even if I don't understand everything (I'm French). It's great to see these kids now happy and healthy ! They are so cute :) I had an open heart surgery too when I was 1 (now I'm 16) so it's good to see this video. Thanks Mark ! I hope that you'll be known in Europe one day because you're very talented :)
What a beautiful video ! And a good song :) It is so great to see those kids healthy and happy ! (Jonah is so cute ^^) I had heart surgery too when I was 1 (now I'm 16). Thanks Mark :)
Great and positive video really love it!! Well done Mark!My daughter was born with a Complete AVSD and had her surgery a couple of months ago...a litlle fighter like all of them are.
I have two nieces who are alive today because of Vanderbilt's NICU. One was born in 1981 2 months early. She's perfect today and a loving wife and the mother of a beautiful 2 year old.
My other niece was born at 5 1/2 mos gestation in 2005. She was expected to have many problems and a difficult life...if she made it. She was transferred to Vandy and will celebrate her 4th birthday Saturday as a healthy, vibrant, intelligent active little girl. This is surely a place of miracles!
This is such a wonderful video. I am the mom of an almost 7 year old boy with tricuspid atresia. He has had all of his surgeries done at Vanderbilt. The cardiologist dancing at the end with the guitar is his doctor. This brings back so many memories. It is so great to see these kids older and happy. Thanks so much Mark!
I have sent this video to Oprah, Regis and Kelly and to The Doctors tv show. I have asked them all to do a show on Feb 14 honoring all of our "heart kids" and I asked that they invite Mark on to do his song. I think we should all send them letters. one day they will listen and do a show on the number one birth defect, CHD's. Hopefully they will honor A day for Hearts, Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day/Week. our kids deserve to have their stories told, to show the world how strong they are.
I love this! Mark, thank you for doing such a great job. My daughter had tet repair at 10 weeks old -- she's now 5 1/2! You'd never know it now. My husband had the same thing and had surgery when he was 7 years old and now he's 44!!!! I am always amazed at the miracles all of these heart babies are. I wish you continued health and success! I think you're on to something great. God bless you.
You did a great job on this video. I had a VSD repair 35 years ago when i was 5. I can't imagine what my parents went through. Your song is an inspiration.
WOW, this is fantastic, you did a great job! My daughter has Hypoplastic left heart syndrome and is now 15 months old post glenn. She is doing fantastic, your video gives us such hope! Thank you so much for sharing
very cool i hope these kids that turned adults dont have to worry anymore I HAVE HEART MURMERS HOLES IN THE HEART BUT IM DOING GOOD I AM GOING TO CARDIOLOGIST ON THE !% TH
WOW! I love this ..it is so awesome. My son is three years old and has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and we are awaiting his third surgery...it is so exciting to see how much life these kids have and how strong they are. God Bless You..what a very touching song and video..thank you for sharing your talent!
I loved it! My son Michael was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome in 2002. And was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia in 2003. He is now 6 and lives life to the fullest! He is a fighter just like all the children seen in your video! What a wonderful thing you have put together!! How Beautiful! :)
What a WONDERFUL video! My daughter, Erin had open heart surgery to repair her VSD and ASD's at a month old...she'll be 2 in January! She has an appreciation for life that I wish I had. I know one day she will accomplish great things. Who knows, she could become a cardiologist, nurse or surgeon and be as wonderful as many of those who helped us out on February 21st 2007! I can't wait to show this video to her someday! Thank you and God bless!
LOVE IT!. my mom is showing everyone we know this video. I have CHD aslo... transposition of the great vessels, pulmanary atresia, and a VSD.. i've had 5 heart surgeries. i just wrote a 11 page paper on how my heart problem has affected my family and it had me in a funk for a couple of weeks.. this definitely lifted my spirits and reminds me how lucky I am. you did an excellent job :) and i'm glad you are healthy!
I know how it feels I had 2 Open Heart surgeries my self . one when I was a baby and one when I was 13 . Then when on my birthday I had a tumor taking out of my leg
Amazing, thank you for what you have done for this mommy of a 15-month old Transposition of Greater Arteries baby girl! I will be saving this for her and all our family to watch. Good luck in your career, you are very talented.
YEAH!!! For Kids growing up strong with CHD! We have a five year old son with Hypoplastic left heart syndrome.....after three surgeries, a stroke, multiple infections, seziuers.....TO LOOK AT HIM NOW would and will bring tears to my eyes.....By Gods Amazing grace he is doing WOUNDERFUL! thank you for the wounderful song.......
My daughter was born with a CHD too, TAPVR. This was really touching. Thank you so much. It's so nice to know I wasn't alone 2 yrs ago. If you get a chance, look up my daughter Brianna Usher on youtube. Congratulations and thanks again.
I was watching your video with my 13 yr old son today and at the end when you show your picture, he said "hey, he as the same heart defect as me!" ( and this is coming from a child who avoids anything heart related ) Your video makes me cry everytime, but in a good way! I love seeing the pics of the kids growing up and healthy! You are amazing and a true testament to kids growing up with heart disease! well done and much success to you!
Mark, this video was sent to me on one of my heart support groups, i agree with what everyone else has said. As a mother to an almost 13 yr old son with tricuspid atresia, this had me in tears. What an awesome video! It was nice to see so many kids that are now adults and nurses!! Thanks for helping spread awareness for CHD's
