Can you imagine having to be resuscitated and how traumatic an experience it must be? Now imagine what it is like to be resuscitated 32 times…as a baby?
One man who knows what that is like is Michael Teehan, because he lived through it.
Michael, a native of Clare who now lives in Dublin, was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect shortly after birth.
Heart Children, the national charity supporting children and young people with congenital heart disease (CHD), will host its annual conference, The Beat Goes On, on Saturday February 22 in Dublin, as part of Global Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Month.
The Beat Goes On conference is aimed at Ireland’s 19,000 young people and adults living with CHD, as well as parents.
To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by the Secretary of Heart Children, Michael Teehan.
