Heart warriors are near and dear to us here at little minis and it was so amazing to get to know 6 year old Harlow and her amazing heart mama: Nicole (@nllm) Read on to be inspired by this mini super hero. 

"Warrior: a brave or experienced or fighter. My darling Harlow I knew you would be strong and fierce. So many questions and wonder about your well-being and your special heart. Before you were born so many people gave us the wrong answers and the incorrect assumptions. I knew they were wrong. Educated with a warrior at home and a strong mama will; I did the research, I asked the hard questions and we received the perfect solution. Harlow Pacy-Grevich arrived screaming and calmed completely when handed to her Daddy. She had her first big surgical repair at 3 months and again 364 days later. Teleology of fallot is common but tricky. Texas Childrens provided us with top notch care and amazing results. You would never know her heart skips to a different beat! love that it’s stronger, louder and more defined just like her personality. Her bubbly personality and her curiosity shine through with each step. We love our warrior and we want the world to know she is ready! Medical advancements paved for the way for her future let’s work together to keep up the wonderful new things that’s are imploding in the field of cardiology moving forward."
