What is plastic bronchitis? What is immune deficiency and how might it be related to plastic bronchitis? More importantly, what can be done about it? Today’s Guest will answer those questions and more!

Anna: Heidi Ingvaldsen is 38 years old and lives in the north of Norway with her partner Karl Stian. The couple has three children from previous relationships, Karl's sons, Nicklas, aged 17, and Tobias, aged 14, and Heidi's daughter, Maya, aged 17. Heidi and Karl welcomed their son, Karl Emil, 5 years ago. Karl Emil was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or HLHS and also has plastic bronchitis and an immune deficiency. He has had three heart surgeries and lives with Fontan circulation. Heidi is committed to advocating for her son's health to get him the best care possible. Living in Norway makes advocacy more of a challenge. In this episode, Heidi shares with Anna how she is learning about pediatric cardiology and what she hopes for her son's future.
