Imagine…A Window into Our World
Congenital Heart Defect AwarenessThrough the Eyes of Parents
by Vanessa Sapp
![Page 2: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Imagine holding your child after birth…
and being grateful that she looks perfectly
healthy!
![Page 3: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Oh, imagine the excitement and joy of bringing your baby home…possibly to meet a brother and
sister!
![Page 4: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
But then imagine being at home when your “healthy” baby starts turning blue!
![Page 5: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Imagine rushing your precious baby to the hospital…
and hearing the doctor tell you that your
child has a congenital heart defect.
![Page 6: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In the United States,
approximately
1 in 125 babies is born with a
congenital heart defect.
That is more than
32,000 babies born with CHD
every year!
CHDs affect all races, religions,
and sexes.
Defects develop soon after birth
before most women know
they are pregnant.
Causes for most CHDs are
unknown. Often the mother has led a healthy
lifestyle.
![Page 7: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Most babies appear healthy after birth…
![Page 8: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
and do not show signs and symptoms until after they go home…
• Cyanosis (blue skin/lips)• Lethargy• Poor feeding• Fast or difficult
breathing
![Page 9: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Many parents do not recognize the symptoms as abnormal and sadly, some babies reach a life
threatening state or die before diagnosis.
![Page 10: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Please…
learn the signs and symptoms of
congenital heart defects.
It could save a life!
![Page 11: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If the CHD is discovered, you may get to hold and kiss your baby one last time…
![Page 12: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
before they attach all these tubes and wires…
all necessary for your child to live!
![Page 13: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Imagine your child leaving in this pod…
instead of a car seat.
![Page 14: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
And then imagine your child being taken away by a life flight…
without you!
![Page 15: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Imagine the possibility of your child enduring open heart surgery.
![Page 16: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If he survives and returns from surgery, imagine not being able to hold and comfort your
child…
because he is at risk for infection and YOU could make him sicker…or even die!
![Page 17: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Imagine bringing your other children to the hospital to visit the new baby…trying to explain why there
are so many machines and tubes and wires…
and hoping this is not their only memories of the baby!
![Page 18: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Imagine taking your first family photo in the hospital…
and wondering if it will be the last.
![Page 19: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Imagine living for weeks…maybe months in a hotel and hospital….
![Page 20: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
waiting… hoping… praying…
for your child to come home.
![Page 21: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Imagine time standing still…time no longer being measured by a clock…but by the ticking of a
machine.
And imagine every time one of those machines alarm…
![Page 22: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
imagine the possibility that you may never hold your child again…
and that your child may never come home.
![Page 23: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Imagine your child survives and comes home with monitors, feeding tubes and medications.
Would you remember how to accurately read the monitors?
…or how to feed your child?…or when to administer the medications?
![Page 24: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Imagine asking visitors to wash their hands and wear a mask before holding your child…
…because he is at risk of infection.
![Page 25: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
And then imagine after all the specialized care and precautions…
imagine your child gets sick and has to return to the hospital…
![Page 26: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
but his heart and body are not strong enough to fight the infection.
It is estimated that more than 6000 deaths a year are caused by complications of congenital heart
defects in the United States.
![Page 27: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hopefully your child recovers and returns home.
But the worries are not over!
![Page 28: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There will be many doctor visits…
![Page 29: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
and the possibility of more hospital stays…
![Page 30: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
and surgeries…
![Page 31: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
even on holidays!
![Page 32: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Common illnesses like a cold, the flu or strep throat…
and routine cleaning at the dentist…
all are potentially life threatening to a person with CHD.
![Page 33: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Some of these children eventually need heart transplants.
Of the approximate 700 children listed on the transplant list…only about 275 will receive a heart
in time to save their life!
![Page 34: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Congenital Heart Defects cause more deaths in the first year of life than any other birth defect.
![Page 35: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Please meet John Connor…born August 24, 2006
Several days after his birth, he was diagnosed with Truncus Arteriosus…
and later, at another hospital, he was also diagnosed with pulmonary atresia, right ventricle aorta, ASD (atrial septal defect) and VSD (ventricular septal defect).
![Page 36: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
He had open heart surgery on September 1st…
and finally got to go home on September 12th!
On October 16, 2006…
John Connor stopped breathing and passed
away.
![Page 37: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Due to misdiagnosis, lack of knowledge and awareness, and complications of surgery…
about 51% of deaths caused by congenital heart defects are children under the age of one year!
![Page 38: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Please meet a few more of our precious angels…
We share them with you to make you aware.
There are no cures and not enough funds for research for better treatment
options.
![Page 39: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
That was a window into our world.
But one day, CHD could affect someone you love and be part of your world.
![Page 40: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
So, how can you help?
• Please, consider donating to a CHD research program or support group
• Write you local government requesting mandatory prenatal/newborn echos *You can start today by signing this worldwide petition at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/every-baby-needs-an-echocardiogram.html
• Support stem cell research
• Donate blood
• DONATE LIFE
• And please…SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT CHD! *You can start by signing this CHD in the Media petition at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/media-awareness-for-chd.html
![Page 41: Imagine...A Window Into Our World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5565448ad8b42a902d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
And then imagine…
• Planned treatment through early detection with fetal echos
• Life saving detection with infant echos• Finding a cause to allow for better treatment
options• Improved long-term treatment• More children receiving life saving treatments• More CHD Awareness• More children surviving with CHD!
