When my daughter, Emmie, was about 7 months old we noticed she had a really bad cough that wouldn't go away. Being around the holiday season we thought it was a series of colds back to back so we were in and out of the doctors' office. After several weeks that turned into months of visits filled with blood work, urine tests, breathing treatments, different rounds of various antibiotics, the primary care doctors were totally stumped at what was going on…
Then one day at one of her follow-up appointments they discovered that she had a heart murmur. This was scary and nerve racking, but after so much time of trying to help my baby breathe without difficulty, I was hopeful that we were a little closer to understanding the reason behind what was going on with her.
Have a heart and help me reach my goal today!
