How emotionally draining it would be. 

Please share a little bit about your story:

Our Journey began when my baby boy was 13 days Old and barely responsive. Kyle was diagnosed with Shone's complex at 19 days old, after he had his first open heart surgery. As he got older his heart started to get worse and he had to have several open heart surgeries, pacemakers and that eventually lead to him needing a heart transplant. He was listed for his heart transplant in February 2012 and had his heart transplant on December 4 through the fifth of 2012.
