"The Parent's Guide to Children's Congenital Heart Defects" (CHD) covers everything a parent facing his or her child's CHD will want to know and then some: the Why's, What's, and How's of a range of disorders, symptoms, and treatments associated with CHD -- from the womb and into the world, in the hospital, home, school, playground, all the way to adulthood. No more will parents have to wade through medical textbooks to find answers to their questions, and questions they didn't know to ask. The authors, each with a child who survived CHD, worked in direct collaboration with the top experts in the field to translate the most up-to-date knowledge about CHD into plain, empathetic English. They add a chorus of other parents' CHD stories for moral support and homespun advice.
