Cogenital Heart Defect Awareness Week

Evening is rolling over, eating rice ceral and been at her absolute best these last few weeks. Some of my favorite Evening moment have happened just last week - such a sweet character. I'm convinced that much of the reason why she is doing so well, is because of the fact that her heart problem was caught early and we had the incredible good fortune to have an early surgical opening. Because a heart murmur was detected, and our primary care physician encouraged us to go to a pediatric cardiologist at 2 weeks - Evening's Tetrology of Fallot was diagnosed, then surgically treated at a little over a month. She has developed from that point impressively well.

Please encourage new mothers and fathers to have their medical team pay particularly close attention to their baby's heart and should any murmur be detected - absolutely visit a pediatric cardiologist. This is a problem that affects 40,000 babies nationwide a year. Additionally, if you know of any families wrestling with these issues - please provide them the blog site and should they like - have them contact us directly - sddoyle@gmail.com.

February 7-14 is Cogenital Heart Defect Awareness Week - with the day of awareness very justly being - Valentines Day. For more information visit here.
