Leaky (heart) valve

Well the doctor called us back today. My youngest son, 1 year old, has a hole in his heart. We have to see a pediactric cardiologist May 21 in Louisville. This is the same one who spent 11 days at Kosairs Childrens Hospital in December and January. Rough start for the little guy. Just wanted to let you guys know whats going on.

I will tell you from personal experience and my ex wife had this 35 years ago. She had 4 problems with her heart. They can usually fix the problem and your little guy will run with the best of them. Good luck!!

paul, just saw this. i had a lot of shit happen and a lot of surgeries my first 6 WEEKS. so, they can fix just about anything these days. i had a bad heart murmur and shit. they fixed me up and doctors cant find it now.

he'll be perfect in no time!

Man my heart goes out to you. I wish you and your family the best of luck and may all of the prayers everyone makes help in the healing process. It is always the inocent that have problems. Keep your head up.

i cant relate at all, but i do wish ur son the best.

I cant imagine going through that, but your all in my thoughts and prayers.

My prayers are with you and your family! I hope that everything goes well. I know that it is usually a fairly simple proceedure to correct. My neice had surgery for a hole in her heart when she was right about a year old. They just made a tiny incision between two of her ribs like 1/4 inch and went in and repaired it, when she came out of anethstesia she was sitting up and playing. Shes 5 now and hasn't had any more problems.

sorry to hear that Paul.........my wife is goin through the same as we speak man!she had problms since age 11 .we had a wonderfull daughter Hannah(no heart promlems of any kind)after she had hannah her heart just couldnt do it anymore.(only 30% working) so her amazing heart doc got her a new transplant...........what a blessing!,well with a transplant heart comes a lot of precautions and medicine..(bout 50 pills a day)...............................................................she is now in ross heart hosp ,they have her on dialisis everyday and shes getting real depressed(hopfully she will pull out of this and be able to come home!)its hard to keep her in good spirits....it can only get worse,and i tell her to live today like its the best time of her life because tommorow might be worse but she is just tired of the cycle of getting better just to get worse next time ......................................................i hope the best for you and your son and anyone with a non self inflicted problem..................it is hard to stay in there trust me!,but we must treat it as a meer steping stone not a tragedy...................i will pray for you as you may for my wife jessica
