My son was born 15 years ago with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and I went searching for help and found the Congential Heart Information Network. I have gotten both practical and emotional support and been able to connect with others with similar situations. This group of parents facilitated by tchin have truly become my friends who understand. They have seen our family thru 3 open heart surgeries and a difficult heart transplant just last year. It made a huge difference to our family to know there were others around the country and the world providing thoughts and prayers for my son as well as "been there, done that" support. Things would have been far tougher without tchin. I recommend them often to other parents in similar situation. As a matter of fact, I did so again today.
