My friend Angela has a niece who is a Heart Baby. Sweet Shelbee was born with transposition of the arteries or TGA, which is a Congenital Heart Defect. Her sweet Mom Rochelle had no idea that she had a heart problem until Shelbee started turning blue around her mouth and showing signs of distress. Unfortunately her doctor shrugged it off as a Heart Murmur and did nothing about it.
When she told me this I was so frustrated and irritated. Too many doctors are doing that these days! Mom's intuition knows best and so she ended up finally taking her to the emergency room. They checked her pulse ox and immediately sent her to Sunrise Hospital. She had her heart surgery the next night by Mylah's same surgeon - Dr. Ciccolo. She's a miracle and was so excited to meet Mylah!
It's always fun to meet other Heart Families and Heart Friends. We are so glad that Shelbee is doing so well. It gives us so much hope for the future!
