Jessica and I have been wearing red today for CHD Awareness Week. Approximately 1 in every 100 babies is born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) and it is the most common and most lethal birth defect worldwide. There are more than 40 different types and more than 50% of children born with a CHD will require at least one invasive surgery in their lifetime. My little girl is one of those 1 in 100. Since birth, she has had four operations (plus one before she was born) and will need more as she gets bigger. She is my miracle.
