February is American Heart Month. As such, I wanted to share some information about Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). As you may or may not know, my son, Paxton was born with an ASD and VSD (basically, 2 holes in his heart). In many cases, the wholes repair and close on their own; however, in his case, he was failing to thrive and required open heart surgery at 7 weeks.
This is a picture of us 3 days after his surgery, in the PICU at Hopkins. He was still only 7lbs.

Thank you for sharing that information. Although that was a difficult time for you, that picture is just precious.
