November 03, 2015 Seizing the Day with Jim Larson!
Send us a text
Season Six of "Heart to Heart with Anna" is all about Carpe Diem -- Seizing the Day. In this episode we'll learn about a remarkable congenital heart defect (CHD) Survivor who was born in the 1950s. Being born with tetralogy of Fallot in the 1950s could have been a death sentence but instead Jim Larson was a pioneer. One of the early survivors of what was commonly referred to as "blue baby syndrome," Jim Larson was operated on by the most promising up-and-coming doctors in the United States and instead of dying young, as so many other children did who were born with that heart defect in that time, Jim survived and even thrived. Tune in to hear how he learned to "seize the day" and what advice he has for others born with heart defects or any other kind of chronic illness.

Send us a text
This episode of "Heart to Heart with Anna" is the final episode of Season 5: Miracles DO Happen! We started Season Five with a miracle story about a woman who found out after she gave birth that her son had a critical congenital heart defect and who was in the right place at the right time to receive the treatment he needed to survive. This episode, likewise, deals with the discovery after birth that a baby boy was born with congenital heart defects. This show not only deals with the discovery after birth but also with the intercession of an angel who might very well have helped to save this baby's life. Our Guests for this show include Rebekah Simpson and her mother Susan Mills who both witnessed a miracle.

July 28, 2015 A Mother's Miracle
Send us a text
Many mothers believe their babies are miracles, but few know that to be a fact like mothers of children born with broken hearts. When mothers are told their unborn or newborn babies have something wrong with their hearts, the news is devastating. When mothers see their littles one fight for their lives and survive open-heart surgeries only to have difficulty feeding, gaining weight and still looking blue, they may all but despair.Today's show will feature a mother who has seen all of that and more! Difficulty with feeding, feeding tubes, the fear that the heart defect may be genetic and thus worries over having a second child are all issues that our Guest, Angela Gilbert, has faced head on thanks to her son being born with transposition of the great arteries. Tune in to hear how she faced these issues, how her son, Gary, was able to overcome these obstacles and many more to become a healthy 16-year old teenager and what advice she has for other parents facing the same problems she has encountered.
