Congenital Heart Disease Support Group
Congenital heart disease is heart disease in the newborn, and includes congenital heart defects, congenital arrythmias, cardiomyopathies, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). CHD can describe a wide variety of different abnormalities affecting the heart. CHD occurs when the heart or blood vessels near the heart does not develop properly before birth.
There is a support group called Little Hearts, they provide support for parents whose children have CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) it was fouded by a lady whose son has had 2 open heart surgeries and has one more to go. I participated in a charity motorcycle ride that benifited this group. I meet this lady and her son, compared zippers (scar from open heart) with her son and spoke with the foundar. Very nice people. Contact littlehearts.org for more info. They have a website that has lots of info on all types of CHD, membership is free (donations apreciated). This is very different from DS, their support is either by phone or person to person depending on were you live. They are based out of Cromwell, CT but their services are for everyone. I sure wish this type of support was available for my parents, I can only imagine what they went thru with me. Best wishes to you, Dave

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
