Wyatts Warriors

These 2 ladies have been amazing with wyatt!! The first one was his main radiologist who did pretty much all of his echoes. She is at Akron Children's Hospital now and doesn't go to the Wooster office anymore but she is hands down the best and we miss her. The 2nd lady works at Akron Childrens Hospital and did Wyatts echo at his week check up after his 3rd surgery. We love these ladies so much and was so happy to run into them tonight. ❤️💙❤️💙

I need to talk about something.

And I am going to say it with love because this community means everything to me.

But I am also going to say it clearly.

Our images belong to Invisible Warriors.

Every graphic.
Every post.
Every piece of content we create is made with intention.
For this community.
For these families.
For this mission.

And lately images have been taken from this page.
Uploaded to AI tools.
Altered.
And shared without permission.

That is not sharing our mission.

That is copyright infringement.

And it matters.

Not because we want to gatekeep anything.

But because this organization exists to serve real families.
Real children.
Real stories.

And when our content is taken and altered without permission it stops belonging to them.

If something we post moves you —

There is a share button.
Use it.

If you want to use something we created in a different way —
Tag us.
Ask us.
We are real people and we will respond.

That is the difference between sharing a mission and taking something that does not belong to you.

We pour everything into this work.

Every post.
Every image.
Every word.

Please respect it the way the families behind it deserve to be respected.

💙 Drop a 💙 if you have always shared our content the right way — we see you and we appreciate you more than you know.

This is what Wyatt will be having done next (or atleast thats what we have been told). His pulmonary valve needs opened up a bit. ❤️💙

They told you your child needs a heart cath.
And your stomach dropped.
Because you heard the word "heart" and your brain went straight to the worst place it could go.
Take a breath. Let us explain this.
A heart catheterization is not open heart surgery. They do not open the chest. They do not stop the heart. They thread a thin tube through a blood vessel — usually in the leg, neck, or arm — and guide it all the way to the heart using X-ray imaging.
Your child is asleep. Your child is not in pain.
And what happens inside that cath lab can change everything.
Doctors can see pressures inside the heart and lungs. They can check oxygen levels. They can look at blood flow. They can get detailed pictures of structures that no outside scan can fully show.
But it doesn't stop at diagnosing.
They can open narrowed valves. Place stents. Close holes. Create or enlarge openings between chambers when the heart needs a different path to survive.
All of it. Through a blood vessel.
No open chest.
No cracked sternum.
A completely different path to the same goal.
And for CHD kids — this isn't always a one-time thing.
Many heart children have multiple caths throughout their entire childhood. Because their heart changes as they grow. Because caths can delay surgery. Replace surgery. Plan surgery. Monitor what's shifting before it becomes a crisis.
It is a powerful tool.
It is not something to fear.
It is doctors fighting for your child in one of the most precise ways medicine can offer.
Your child is brave.
Your child is strong.
And now you know exactly what's happening in that room.
💙 Save this. Share it with every heart family who needs to understand what a cath actually is.

That CHD is not a “heart condition” in the simple sense. It is a lifetime war.
It does not end when the cast comes off.
It does not end when the surgery is over.
It does not end when the child smiles.
You cannot always see it.
That does not make it small.
That does not make it less real.
The hospital stay is only one chapter.
The fear after discharge is another.
The scans.
The meds.
The sleepless nights.
The “is this normal?”
The silent panic no one claps for.
What people need to understand is this.
CHD families are not asking for pity.
We are asking to be seen.
To be believed.
To not have our hardest days minimized because our child is breathing.

Let's talk about Subaortic Stenosis.
Because most people have never heard of it.
And every family living with this diagnosis deserves a world that understands exactly what it means.
Start with the aortic valve.
The aortic valve sits at the exit of the heart.
Its job —
let oxygen rich blood leave the left ventricle and flow out to the body through the aorta.
Open. Blood moves through. Close.
Every single heartbeat.
In Subaortic Stenosis —
something forms just below that valve.
Extra tissue.
Sometimes a thin membrane.
Sometimes a thicker ring of muscle.
A blockage that was never supposed to be there.
Sitting directly in the path of blood trying to leave the heart.
And here is what that does.
Blood that should flow freely out of the left ventricle —
hits that obstruction.
It cannot move through normally.
It has to push past something that is in the way.
And so the heart does what it always does when it faces resistance.
It works harder.
The left ventricle pumps with more force.
More pressure.
Against an obstruction that is not going away on its own.
And over time —
that increased effort takes a toll.
The left ventricle thickens under the strain.
The aortic valve above the obstruction —
damaged by the abnormal turbulent blood flow pushing past the blockage —
begins to show wear.
Regurgitation.
Scarring.
Damage that accumulates quietly.
Often without obvious symptoms.
Often for longer than anyone realizes.
And that is one of the most important things to understand about Subaortic Stenosis.
It can be invisible for a long time.
The blockage forms.
It grows.
The heart compensates.
And a child can look and feel relatively fine —
while the obstruction and the damage it causes continue to progress.
This is why awareness matters.
This is why monitoring matters.
This is why we talk about diagnoses that don't always make headlines.
Because invisible does not mean harmless.
And every warrior carrying this diagnosis deserves to be caught early.
Watched carefully.
And fought for completely.

Drop a 💙 if Subaortic Stenosis is part of your warrior's journey.
Drop a ❤️ if you are understanding this condition for the first time today.
