I read Bills comments with great interest. He is just a little older than I. My mother was also trained as a nurse during WW2. In my role as chair for Gift of Life NE Ohio I do many presentations for fund raisers to help us preform heart surgeries in the developing world for children born with CHD. I start every presentation with "how many of you have heard the term "blue babies" . Most have not. As I explain in the US today we just fix them. In the developing world no one knows what the issue is until the child dies. Their is no cardiac care for most of the kids in the developing world. Bills comment from Dr. Taussig's letter to him upon her retirement is the way I feel as I occasionally get the chance to reconnect with a child we helped who is now a teen or young adult. I know they will do wonderful things with their life. Makes me feel my volunteerism with this organization gives my life of value too.
I am also a Blue Baby survivor. I will be 65 in December this year. I had a Tetralogy fallot repair in 1966 at age 8. I love to here of these lives that god has watched over.
What a wonderful uplifting life Story Bill, I thank You💙I to have pulmonary stenosis except I went undiagnosed until I was 25 yrs. Old it was found when I gave Birthday to my only Son. After several Angiograms, heart catheterization I was told it's done it damage and is not something Cardiologist are able to fix. Dr. Perlof at UCLA diagnosed me and kept me close to his side now he's passed Bless his soul but today I go by his word and treatment he insisted I do and I'm now 65 yrs 9 mths old living on Prayers and your description of life is right, Life is Miraculous!!! Please say a prayer for Me 🙏
