#08 Our Daughters' Heart

Welcome to Teets Talk! Get to know us, hear about our lives, personalities and hang out with us while we figure this whole thing out! It'll sure be a good time for all. Have a listen, like, share, follow, all the things. We hope that you enjoy today's podcast.

Today, we are discussing our daughter, Lillian, her birth story & her CHD (congenital heart defect) diagnosis. Lillian was born with a complete Atrioventricular Canal Defect or AV Canal Defect. We discuss her birth, how she was diagnosed, and our frustrations with the process of diagnosis. This is the first part in what we are sure will be many. It was and still is a wild ride! We hope that in sharing our story we will bring awareness to CHD kids and the struggles that they go through. When she was first diagnosed, we struggled to find any information about her specific defect or any stories from real families dealing with open-heart surgery on an infant. We hope this will shed some light on what these families go through.

We also have some exciting news. We will have our very first sponsor very soon! :)

See ya'll next week! We post every Wednesday/Thursday!
