From A Dad's Perspective: Parenting a Child With a Heart Condition (Theo's Story Part 3)

Send us a text


Host Lina Forrestal interviews Matthew Simon -- Yes, a DAD!
Matt’s wife, Alexis, has been on the podcast twice, telling the
story of their son, Theo, who was born with a rare genetic heart
condition. In the first episode, she talked through the journey
of his diagnosis and in the second episode, she walked us through
what it was like watching Theo get heart surgery for his
condition. In those episodes, she mentioned how she and her
husband, Matt, are a team.  In this episode, we hear from
his perspective: what this journey has been like, how he’s
feeling today, and what is the secret sauce to working as a team
during challenging times.
