Thank you for...What a powerful and important post. Thank you for this reminder to let our children be human before they are cardiac patients. I also have my own little Sam, and he has hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Sometimes I put off telling new people I meet about my heart baby because I want them to have a chance to meet me before they lump me into that "heart mom" category.<br />Don't get me wrong, I like the whole heart-mom-support thing...but I don't want that to be the one thing my new neighbor remembers about me.<br />And it's nice to say, "and she has a twin sister, but she's inside taking a nap."...and let them coo over the twins thing for a bit....<br />-NanetteHeartBabyHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563455964648706262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815203406153802751.post-38890523510699766312010-08-31T08:51:13.974-04:002010-08-31T08:51:13.974-04:00Very well said Kathy!

I agree that it is hard being the heart parent and not letting their heart defect define who they are because it is a BIG part of them and a BIG part of our world. We are so very proud of them and the HUGE mountains they have overcome. They are a badge of courage that we carry around each day. It's hard not to brag about the little miracles they are!Stefeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278714232697499851noreply@blogger.com
