About 1 in every 125 babies born has congenital heart disease (CHD). Many of these are not known prior to birth and some are not known until later in life, sometimes, only after a tragedy has happened. The problem is that you can't just look at a baby and know if they have congenital heart disease. That's what happened to beautiful baby Cora. Now her mother works tirelessly towards raising awareness of congenital heart disease and pulse oximetry testing for newborns. February 7-14 is Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week, won't you honor CHD babies everywhere by learning about what this is and what you can do to help protect little ones?
There are also a lot of families out there who have stories to tell. Please leave a comment with a blog or page of a family you know who is sharing their story.
