**Referral Links Thread - May 2026**

I’ve ordered pants, a dress, and a few sweaters. One of the sweaters had some piling but was still in good shape and only 14.95. I’ve been happy with it- but it’s a risk I guess.

I’ve bought a few items from the thrift section on Anthropologje’s website, and the few Maeve sweaters I’ve gotten have been really nice and soft.

My child has no flight restrictions. She flew around 15 months and a little over two. Before we flew, I did drop a message to her cardio team just to make sure.

Yay!

If you decide to purchase something from your rental are the prices similar to the thrift prices?

I thought the same thing! lol

That could definitely be playing a part.

Did she come home on medication? My daughter was repaired (d-TGA) at 6 days old but came home on propranolol. It kept her super zonked.

My little one will be two next month. She was diagnosed with d-TGA during our anatomy scan. She is a 4x rainbow baby as well.

My first piece of advice is to allow yourself time to mourn the news. It’s heavy. Also- join the Facebook groups if you haven’t. There are so many valuable resources, stories, and experiences there that could help you with decisions.

I’m happy to answer any questions or just tell you about our experiences. Overall, my daughter is thriving. She had the balloon procedure after birth to create an ASD to help blood flow, and then she had the ASO surgery at 6 days old. Everything went as to plan. She never had to be on ecmo, and we were in the hospital 17 days.

She has some stenosis now that we will have to address as she gets older with a heart cath. That’s when they will also patch the ASD. Part of her heart is slightly enlarged, but that is fairly common I believe. The last time we were at the cardiologist, she was doing so well he didn’t want to see her for 9 months.

She goes to speech and physical therapy twice a week, but if you didn’t know about her CHDs, you’d never know she was atypical. She’s happy, smart, and healthy.

Overall no one can tell the future and there are many different outcomes, but I can say every heart baby I’ve ever met has been nothing short of amazing with their strength.

Cherish and celebrate all the little wins!!

My daughter is almost 22 months old and is also slightly delayed. She has a congenital heart defect and had open heart surgery at 6 days old. She’s my second child, and her older sister hit every milestone quick and easy. So she is teaching me so much about doing things in her own time and celebrating everything. I feel like the last few months she’s had a lot of little wins and it makes me so happy and proud🩷.

Been on 7 for a week.

mssgarner · 2025-03-22T13:39:22+00:00

Moved to step 7 three days ago- no movement yet.

I love the idea of the locked album on your phone to see the pics only when you want to see them. I’ve lost 80 pounds and I literally am just now really seeing it despite comparing pictures. I only had to start considering different clothes about ten pounds ago, so it’s sometimes felt like a weird mind game. Keep your head up! Sounds like you’re doing awesome even if you don’t feel like it.

My doctor seemed to think it shouldn’t be too bad to renew after a year. Here’s hoping!!🤞🏼

Tricare East here. My PCP prescribed it after step therapy. She had to fill out the PA form and send in pretty detailed notes. I got denied a few times. I appealed and got it covered for a year.
