Zoey ❤

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jaclyn and My daughter Zoey is my hero. How many people are lucky enough to even meet a hero, but I gave birth to mine. 
We have introduced Zoey to the Patch, back in Sept of 2012 when Zoey was having her second surgery open heart surgery. My goal is to educate the residents of Lacey of CHD or Congential Heart Disease. In August of 2011 Govenor Christie passed the Pulse ox screening into the panel of newborn screenings . This simple test would have helped Zoey get medical attention she needed  prior to her leaving the hospital as a newborn . Zoey was born on July 11, 2011. We were told she was healthy . Zoey was far from being healthy and almost died on July 17, 2011. Zoey was in Multi System organ failure. This is the day our journey began. 
I hope you continue to follow us. Zoey's story is on her Facebook page www.Facebook.com/IloveZoeyheart also on CHOP's website the cardiac center under patients story's Zoey's Story.
