Mended Little Hearts Group

Finally, a Tulsa chapter for Mended Little Hearts! Mended Little Hearts is a national organization that is dedicated to "connect families in crisis with others who have survived the shock of learning a child has a heart defect/heart disease, navigated the maze of medical decisions and procedures and mapped out a plan for the future." Our family is excited to be a part of this newly formed support group. I have already found comfort in visiting with other Moms who understand the fears and the need to over-protect that goes with these experiences. If you know a family that could benefit from their help, click here to get contact information.
Tom, Claira and I will be traveling to Oklahoma City next Tuesday where we will join other Mended Little Hearts for a picture with Governor Henry who just recently named February 7-14 "CHD Awareness Week".

How do we order the t-shirts? How much are they for adults/children?

That's awesome that a group was formed and you get to be in the beginning stages! How exciting for Claira as well! I look back on her first year and can hardly believe what she went through, expecially when she is so healthy now. It's amazing.
