Hi do you still check this post .. ? I want to know how your little one is .. I give birth to a little boy last year who had the same we didn't find out till he was 5 week old and close to passing away ..he ended up with heart failure too .. The awful thing is you feel like your the only one when something like this happens .. It's heart breaking ..
Hi yes , still get emails . Louis is doing amazing ! He had his last surgery earlier than expected in 2010 at the age of 5 pulmonary valve replacement , open heart surgery in and out in 5 days ! He still is doing amazing now 10.5 years old . He is due and MRI next year to see how the pressures are in the heart . Hope your little boy is doing ok ?
Aww that is amazing ... Bless him ... My little boy had balloon catheterization to stretch the valve which was successful with mild regurgitation .. He has scans every 6 month at alder hey childrens hospital .. Doc said things like this are very unpredictable some children need more surgery some don't .. He said only time will tell ... I can't help but live every day as though it's my little boys last and it's really really getting me down I'm finding it hard to cope as I hVe that much fear ... Was you like that ?? Is what our boys hVe classes as a mild heart condition ? You have managed 10.5 years if no doubts ups and down with worry .. How have you coped any advise would be truly apreciated ... Thankyou for your speedy reply ...
