I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. You will be in my prayers. I don't know if these will help or not but hopefully they will.

hello

i don't know anything about the disease nor any support group. But miles away from you, I share your pain. Though sometimes, God doesnt listen to my prayers, I will pray for your kid's operation's success. That he may lead a good life. Also that you may be strong in the coming days as your kid needs your support.

Sorry this is all I can offer. For all it's worth, Merry christmas.

I wish you and the little fellow well.

There's one group called Children's Heart Group at Pennstate University Hospital which offers help to both parents and the child undergoing surgery. I am not sure where your child's going to have surgery but I'm pretty sure you can ask the staff for their own support group. Or you can go to American Heart association website and start from there. Im a nurse who has handled pediatric heart surgery cases and although I am not their parent, I feel the agony of both the child and the parents. May God be with your family.

oh my god. im so sorry. i just want to say i will pray for you. why does this happen to children? its not fair but stay strong and it will work out. god bless you

I personally know what you are going through, my son was born with HLHS(hypoplastic left heart syndrome) in 1994. He had to have 4 open heart surgeries and had many complications. He is now 12 years old and doing very well.
