Astrid Walschot-Stapp shared Doria-Family Our Journey's photo. 8 hours ago This is the baby of the parents we talked to last year ! It still mystifies me why no East Coast Docs could /would tell them about Doc Hanley ! If you know of any babies with TOF/PA and mapca's. PLEASE let them know about Doc Hanley !

One year ago today we were told there was no hope for this baby. We were told that she would probably never leave the hospital and if we chose to operate on her, it would only yield a poor quality of life for her. For all of you out there that feel like everything that has occurred over the past few weeks has left you with no hope, please believe, have hope! People are praying for you, sending you positive thoughts your way and trying to do what they can to help you. Some of these people you know, some you don't. We know this is true because this is what happened to us. And you know this is possible because you are the people and the community that stuck by us and told us to have hope. You prayed for us, sent us positive thoughts and gave us the strength we needed. Please have hope things will get better and you are not alone. Every time you think you've had too much to deal with, think of our miracle and draw strength from us. Just as you told us to have hope, we ask the same of you. Our prayers and good thoughts go out to you and your families. I know one day soon you'll see Teagan and you will know what an important part you have played in her life. You gave us hope and we hope she does the same for you
