My little hero underwent his first surgery at just 3 days old and his second at 2 months. Accompanying your baby through this journey is an overwhelming experience: trusting the unknown, feeling powerless but loving him so much.
Finding out that your child is going to have to go through this is an emotional rollercoaster. But I promise you, everything passes. One day, negative emotions leave room for acceptance and beautiful positive emotions. We’re still at the early stages of life for our little man, but already what’s written in his medical file is easily forgotten on a daily basis, and we’re very grateful to have him with us.
The En Coeur Foundation has played a human, comforting and warm role in our boy’s story. It took a weight off our shoulders by providing us with free lodging at the manor for as long as we needed it. Access to cafeteria meal vouchers is also a great way of helping. As parents of a first child, our favorite part of being away from home is the volunteers at the CHUL. Every day of the week, we’ve had the chance to chat with wonderful, reassuring people. They are people with big hearts
Whatever the future holds for our Armand, we know that with the En Coeur Foundation we are in good hands. 🫀🩵
