Listen Later

McKenzie and her husband were thrilled to learn of their pregnancy and like many first time parents, they were under the impression that everything would go okay. Her pregnancy went smoothly until the 20-week ultrasound revealed a congenital heart defect, but still the doctor remained positive and simply set expectations for baby girl's heart care after birth. They decided to name her Sophie Joi and continued to make memories with her in utero until things felt a little different at the 33-week pediatric cardiologist appointment. Take a listen to learn how Kenzie's interactions with Share Parents of Utah carried her and her husband through when their entire world was flipped upside down and what she has done to keep Sophie's memory alive.
