August Meeting Summarized

I want to thank those of you who were able to attend our August meeting. I hope that you found it to be informative.


For those of you who couldn't be there, we were visited by Melissa Doggett M.S.R.D. who is a pediatric dietitian for St. Joe's. She spoke with us about ways we could increase our children's calories while maintaining a heart healthy diet. Essentially she discussed the need to provide nutrient dense foods while limiting fillers.


She provided 3 handouts:

• High Calorie High Protein Diet for Infants



• High Calorie High Protein Diet for Toddlers and Preschoolers



• High Calorie Snacking

If you would like a copy of any of these please let me know kym.heartmom@yahoo.com and I will be sure to bring them to the next meeting for you.


Also, if you have any specific questions or concerns about your child's diet you can contact Melissa via email at melissa.doggett@chw.edu





We also had a surprise visit from Seymour Miller the Western Regional Director of Mended Hearts presenting us with our charter. Mended Little Hearts of Phoenix is now officially a non-profit support group.
