Parents of children with congenital heart defects may worry that their afflicted child's siblings will have a rough go of things considering the hospitalizations, doctor's appointments, therapy treatments, and more. They may worry that siblings will resent the extra time they need to spend with their medically fragile children.

This episode features four adults who grew up with a brother or a sister who was born with a congenital heart defect. Tune in to hear what struggles they faced, how their families handled having frequent doctors' appointments, and surgical procedures, and why a tight family unit is so critical for helping children develop compassion, empathy, and a deep love for their siblings.

Featured Guests include: Amy Cowin, Stephen Guerin, Roy Simkhay, and Michelle Steltzer.
