Dr. Sethi's vision for an event where families could connect with other families, hear from cardiologists, and learn about the technical aspects of their children's surgeries was met with enthusiastic support. The goal was to provide comfort and support to families during their time at Duke. Collaborating with Heart 2 Heart Collaborative, we successfully launched the inaugural "Fontan Readiness Night."
Families from various regions gathered to meet with child psychologists, cardiologists, sonographers, and interventionalists, while their children engaged in play and formed friendships. It was profoundly moving to hear parents share their experiences, offering advice, information, and comfort to others.
We extend our gratitude to the volunteers who helped create this community and to the courageous parents who shared their stories and lives with us. We look forward to expanding this event in the coming years!
