How are they coping? I help run a support group online. Here's the addy, and they can get support, or chat or make new friends. I've talked with parents all over the world online. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chd_babies

I had a congenital heart defect but it was minor. It was PDA of the left shunt. I was operated on when I was 3 and have had no problems. But my mother was pretty worried about me for a while because no one knew then what it was.

Yes I do. She has had a few surgeries. I am not sure what type of heart condition she has. But she was born that way and was not expected to live past five year's, she is turning 15 year's old next month.
