Imagine handing over your two-day-old infant for surgery, not knowing what the future holds. Join us in this poignant episode of The CHC Podcast as we share the incredible journeys of Regina Lawrence, Anna Jaworski, and Hava Simkhay, three mothers whose lives were forever changed by their children's congenital heart defects. They recount their experiences of navigating multiple surgeries, the anguish of delayed diagnoses, and the resilience needed to support their children through critical medical interventions.

Hava opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of her son's heart condition, from early diagnoses to a life-saving heart transplant. Her story highlights the indispensable role of medical professionals and the vital support from an online community of transplant patients and families. Discover how shared experiences and encouragement from others who have faced similar battles provided Hava with the strength to persevere during her son's recovery.

Advocacy and love shine brightly in this episode, with insights from Anna, Frank, and Regina on the importance of seeking second opinions and building strong relationships with medical providers. Hear how parental determination and the unwavering support of anesthesia providers have a profound impact on patient care. Stay tuned as we preview next month's topic, World Heart Rhythm Week, and invite you to continue the conversation on social media.
