A Mother’s Perspective: Congenital Heart Disease

May 24, 2016 | Suzanne Ferguson | @suzannerferguson

We came across this inspiring blog post from the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association. Five mothers give truthful answers about what it is like to have a child with a congenital heart disease. It’s not always easy, but these mothers share their struggles and give advice for others in similar positions.

We hope you enjoy this Q&A as much as we did!
