As an adult survivor, you are a ray of sunshine to parents who are facing this with small children. It's easy to get caught up in fear for the present and lose sight of hope for the future. Thanks for giving us a good dose of optimism! I appreciate your comment, Lauren. As an adult survivor, you are a ray of sunshine to parents who are facing this with small children.

I have had two open heart surgeries and even with the one at age 17 the thing I remember the most is the love and support of friends and family. This is why blogs, support groups and other resources are so important. Not only do you reaize that you are not alone, but you realize that together you will get through it. There is immense power in the sharing of stories. I'll stop by periodically to check in on Nathan. Heart hugs, Lauren,CHD Survivor-Tetralogy of Fallot Midlothian, VA Age 37 Hello,
