21 - Our CHD Story: The Norwood Surgery - The Preparation For, Wait During, and Tumultuous Recovery From Open Heart Surgery, & Identifying Controllables & Uncontroallables
In this episode we talk about family's journey through Harding's Norwood open heart surgery. We cover everything from the sweet moments before surgery, controlling what we could during surgery, and the surprise turn Harding threw at us during recovery. It was not an easy road, but we learned so much from it, and we hope that you get some takeaways for your CHD journey from our story.
