| 2 | wyndi littlefield | yes! |
| 3 | Katie Busch | I have a child who was born with 2 Congenital Heart Defects and we didn't find out until 3 months after her birth. We didn't find out about her genetic disorder for 2 1/2 years! |
| 4 | Kimberly Fry | |
| 5 | Jackie Angelshaug-Glassman | It makes sense to do tests for CHD, since it is the number one birth defect, and like my son, he was not diagnosed in utero. |
| 6 | Kristi | |
| 7 | Sharon | our daughter was born with major heart defects but not discovered until 3wks of age and in major heart failure...it's a miracle she's alive. Yes, for the testing!!! |
| 8 | Terri King | |
| 9 | Kari Rawley | This would be a great program-at least a beginning to start more appropriate screening for CHD's in newborns!

| 10 | Stacy Shuker | As a mother of a child with a CHD I think this is a wonderful idea to save lives. |
| 11 | Crystal McWilliams | Having a preemie myself who is still on a pulse ox, I know what a lifesaver it can be! |

| 15 | Lisa Schaffer | This is a much needed procedure in Tennessee! |

| 20 | Karen Elliott | I have a 13-month-old daughter with double inlet left ventricle. I believe pulse ox screening for every newborn is a necessity. |

| 22 | Sunshine Deason | I really like the idea of pulse ox testing in newborns.Had this been done my son may have been diagnosed at birth instead of six weeks later. |

| 26 | Tonya Bracken | My daughter was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I strongly support the testing of newborns to help detect CHDs. |
| 27 | Anonymous | I am the mother of a son with HLHS and this should be done in every state! What could be cheaper than getting a pulse ox? This is a no-brainer! |
| 28 | Connie Testement | My granddaughter was found to have a congenital heart defect just by chance before she was born. If this had not been found early she might not have survived. These screenings should definitely be done before babies leave the hospital. |

| 34 | Mary Treglown | My daughter was diagnosised at 26 hours of a heart defect, by the time they found it her sat were already down in 60's. A pulse ox would have shown a problem after birth. |
| 35 | Patti Guarino | My daughter was undiagnosed till the age of 5 months when she was in congestive heart failure and had developed pulmonary hypertension and was failure to thrive.. A few simple screening tests would have caught her problems. |

| 40 | Jenny Turner | I think that this is a great cause, I only wish that 4 years ago they would have had to do this on my daughter before sending her home and then 2 and a half years later losing her battle with heart and lunch disease. |

| 44 | Darci Morey | My son was born with Multiple Complex Congenital Heart Defects, however was not diagnosed until he was 20 days old. It is a miracle that he is alive. When we arrived at the hospital his sats were 53%...and shockingly showed no signs of brain damage. If I would have known then what I know now I would have demanded a pulse ox! Such a simple procedure could help so many babies much sooner!! |

| 47 | Karen Haury | I think this is a wonderful idea. I hope all states will eventually do this. I am a mom of a baby with a CHD and I support any effort made to detect CHD's in babies prior to leaving the hospital. |
