Did you know that February is National Heart Month? To help remember, just think of a HEART for Valentine's Day! I am so thrilled to welcome back Pediatric Cardiologist, David Weiland.
From *Congenital heart defects (which heart complications baby is born with)
And then *Acquired heart defects come later in life. It is up to us as parents to KNOW THE SIGNS. It also up to the parents to TAKE your child to their Well Visits with your primary pediatrician. That is the only way to learn about the serious complexities of the beautiful heart that lay inside your baby.
Dr. David really sheds light on this crucial topic and his insights are VERY appreciated!
Then later, we welcome 2 of my most favorite people back. Married couple, John and Kari Turner. They are incredibly inspirational and I so hope you find this interview as inspiring as I do.
John, an actor went to NYC and was almost killed by a mugging. It left him with brain damage and couldn't walk for a long time. He then pivoted to writing about his experience in a humorous way. His book, Dairy of an Angry Gimp ignited his love for writing. He met his wife, Kari at a convention learning about handicapped Americans.
Kari has cerebral palsy and they never looked back. In fact, they looked to the future and today, they are raising the 2 most beautiful little girls. Defying the odds every single day. Love yall! (they are also my cousins :) Can you tell that Papa is so proud of them?
They are also writers for our digital magazine, NolaPapa N.O.W.
