Many heart defects can go undetected and it's critical that more screening be done! We knew about Lily's heart defect from 19 weeks pregnant and we all fought hard to save her life.. My Lily was a fighter like so many other heart babies.. sadly.. some just don't make it!
Some parents don't even know that their child has a heart defect until it's too late.. screening needs to be mandatory- not just an anatomy scan during pregnancy that can easily miss it! Screening once the child is born needs to happen!!
Did you know that Congenital Heart Defects kill more children each year than ALL childhood cancers combined?!?!
