  • This is a very informative video. My son was born on November 7, 2008 with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. It was so shocking. I never imagined I would ever have a child with a birth defect. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs and never have. Benjamin James turned 5 months old this past week and will be having his stage two surgery in about 2 weeks. Had it not been for Benjamin's defect, I would not even know about CHDs now. God is so good to us. Benjamin is doing great. Thanks CHOP Docs!

  • thanyou for thosse very kind words.

    the stats are getting better each month on people who survive these diseases. its really great to here.

  • She was strong, but it is my belief that everyone who has Congenital Heart Disease is strong. It's a tough life to lead. I solute you and everyone else with heart defects for their courage. I'm glad to hear your doing all right, it makes me imensely happy to see some people pull through. And I'm glad there are still people who can assist those with heart defects to have a better chance at surviving, they deserve a shot at life and happiness.

  • i am so soory to here about your loss. that makes me realy upset hearing about that. she must have been one helll of a strong persone.

    i almost didint make in my surgery. i had a few defects. DCRV and VSD, thanks to the amaning nurses and doctor im hear today. i came so close to not making it.

  • This is sad, but true. I lost my fiance to congenital heart disease. She lived to reach her 22nd year of life and amazed the doctors. We met in highschool and got engaged short after her graduation. I had a big breakdown when she died just 3 days after we had gotten engaged. The hardest part was knowing that day would eventually come. I wish science was advanced enough to effectively correct these defects and am saving up money to donate to this cause.

  • Love it!! My beautiful baby girl, Adelle, was born with a CHD, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I am so appreciative of the 39 weeks and 5 days of her doing somersaults in my belly, and the 15 days outside of my tummy where I got to smell her yummy baby smell and cuddle up with her, if not for treatment I wouldn't have had her that long. I thank God for every day He gave me with her, and I hold her in my heart ALWAYS.
