Congenital Heart Disease

Approximately 1 in 145 babies are born with a heart defect, some correct themselves but others need dangerous heart surgery, meaning that parents and sometimes children have to witness sights like the ones depicted below.

Little Ross, my precious little boy born with an uncertain future, his brothers and young friends have been the inspiration behind the mission that we hope will turn into a reality to help many other families encountering any kind of emotional roller coaster.

Little Ross after Surgery

There are many things that you cannot prepare for in life and seeing your child like this no matter how many pictures or explanations you have received is one of them.

However, any tools that can help explain will aid the process of supporting families, friends and siblings through this experience as sadly there is a combination of outcomes and no real certainty when your child is diagnosed with a non-correctable heart condition.
