Surgery is not a cure! Amara’s heart is NOT normal - she’s still living with and rocking HALF of a heart!), however the aftermath of heart defects will last a lifetime. CHD creates physical, neurological, and emotional challenges that require ongoing specialized care #HeartMonth

1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect. It’s the most common and most lethal birth defect worldwide. Throwback to Amara’s first heart month! Kolt was showing how strong his baby sister is 💗#chd #hlhs #HeartMonth
