HLHS is rare in the U.S. with under 1,000 children born with it every year according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
‘Never made him live in a bubble’
Chandler’s mother, Meghan Bryson told NBC News, “There was no sign or symptom, which I was told was a major possibility — that it could be an instant heart attack. I never told him or explained it to him. So, he never thought he was any different from the rest of the kids.”
“He was just a normal kid, running around town, running around the house,” Meghan Bryson, who is a licensed practical nurse, added.
His mom said she “never made him live in a bubble” adding that her son “had a very good nearly seven years of quality life.”
What a strong boy little Chandler was and how brave of his parents to let him live life to the full.
Please share to pay tribute to this wonderful family and the sweet little boy they have so tragically lost.
