   Comments: 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!

   Comments: 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.

    Comments: 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.

    Comments: 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.

    Comments: 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.

    Comments: 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.

    Comments: 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!!
