Why Goryeb?
When my son turned two, we discovered he had a heart condition. The days leading up to his appointment with the pediatric cardiologist were crippling. He didn't want to go, we didn't want to go, it was just awful....until we walked into Goryeb. This wasn't just a hospital, it was an inviting, fun, playful place for kids.
My son was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve that day. He is doing well, has no physical limitations and will hopefully make it to 50 without needing a valve replacement.
When we left the hospital I couldn't help but notice the other parents with sick children. Parents that were receiving life altering, tragic information about their child.
That's when it happened...my heart was forever changed.
I thought to myself "What if I had been one of those parents who had a child with a serious condition, hospitalized for a long period of time'? I had to do something. I felt like I had dodged a bullet and for that...I had to do something for the other parents.
My thought is something simple and fun like a tutu or cape, that fuels the imagination and brings smiles and giggles...is just what the doctor ordered for these children and their families!
