February is heart month! And on this week's episode, we have the honor of sharing part 1 of Michaela’s motherhood journey with her daughter and heart warrior, Mia. After Mia’s 20 week ultrasound, Mia was diagnosed with congenital heart disease and a mass in the middle of her face. Parents, Michaela and Jared, spent a lot of the next 20 weeks preparing for Mia’s birth and what life might look like after raising a child with severe birth defects. Mia was born via c section at 39 weeks and then spent the next 155 days in the cardiovascular ICU fighting for her life.

Throughout this episode Michaela shares about Mia’s delivery, Mia’s first moments in the NICU, and how their family began to prepare for Mia’s many upcoming surgeries. We hope that this episode affirms any of our heart NICU mamas or medically complex NICU mamas that you are never ever alone!
