Heart Month Day 3: Surgery/Catheterization

Mira had a heart cath in Sept ‘11 to determine the full diagnosis and whether she would need surgery. She had OHS just before she turned 1. She had a second cath in August ‘19.

Patrick had OHS around 7 days old. He had several subsequent caths for various reasons, and his second OHS in June ‘14. He had one or two more caths after that, the last in August ‘14.

Having your kid undergo surgery is never easy. OHS is even scarier. But when you have friends with you for emotional support and an amazing heart surgeon you trust, it gets a little easier with each one.
