A Heartbeat…for many parents, hearing the heartbeat of their unborn child becomes their first, loving bond to that child. It’s no wonder, then, that discovering that their child has a heart defect, whether diagnosed in the womb, shortly after birth or during childhood, can be devastating. Mended Little Hearts, a support program for parents of children with heart defects and heart disease, is dedicated to inspiring hope in those who care for the littlest heart patients of all. Mended Little Hearts offers resources and a caring support network as families find answers and move forward to find healing and hope. Mended Little Hearts of Dallas is a chapter of the national organization, providing support to heart families in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas. Our first official meeting was held at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas in November of 2011.

Single ventricle families... Would you like to participate in research??"The Texas Center for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease at Dell Children’s Medical Center is doing research to learn more about the everyday life experiences, unmet needs, and challenges of people diagnosed with single ventricle congenital heart disease and their families in order to design the most meaningful and compassionate care possible. We believe the only way to do this is by speaking directly to the experts—the patients themselves and their family members. We are hoping to interview patients and their family members, including parents and siblings, in a small group interview and a one-on-one interview."

Ask any parent who’s stayed in the hospital with their child who helped them beyond measure, and they’ll tell you it was their child’s nurse ❤️
Today is #NationalNursesDay and we can’t say thank you enough to the countless amazing nurses who have cared for our children - and for us!
All week long, we will pay tribute to nurses. We encourage you to give a “shout out” to the nurse who made a difference in your child’s life.
