CHD Awareness

In January of 2006 after 3 very frightening episodes, a trip to the hospital and a visit to the cardiologist, I was told I had a Congenital heart Defect called Wolf Parkinson White. WPW is considered a rare disease, about 272,000 people in the US have it. Optional treatment for this disease is being medicated for your entire life to control the attacks of tachycardia or a sugery called ventricular ablation. After being on the medication which left me tired all the time, I opted for the sugery. I have had a clean bill of health since March of 2006 and I am so grateful. Next month is CHD awareness month. CHD is found primarily in Children. Here are a few ways you can help:
