What is CHD?



Here is an informative link about Congenital Heart Defects and Critical Congenital Heart Disease. 
Cadence has been diagnosed with 3 of the 7 critical defects.


As hard as it is to wait and be unable to do anything for 20 weeks, I can’t imagine the pain of giving birth to a little baby with no idea anything was wrong, and then to lose her suddenly.  I know that this pain still confronts some parents, but I am thankful to God that many are now spared this shock and that sometimes their children can be treated due to the skill and creativity of humans made in His image, from engineers and scientists who created ultrasound machines, to surgeons and parents willing to try new surgeries to save lives, to doctors who can look at a dime-sized heart on a grainy ultrasound and diagnose what is wrong.
