I have had 2 Echo's for Kadence. The 2nd one revealed the bad news. On Nov. 28th i sat in the Sono room for over an hour with my Mom and Lance.. they performed and Echo on her heart as best they could. I heard a little chit chat between doctors and i started to worry that something was really wrong. When they were finished they took us to another room and Dr. Kane came in with a picture of a babies heart. He explained how the heart is supposed to work and then he told us what was wrong with hers.. She still had all the same symptoms she had 4 weeks prior in the hospital. Nothing had changed and it was all because of this one little problem they "think" they had found. Coarctation of the aorta. Means that her aorta is pinched off in a small section causing her heart to not be able to pump blood to the rest of her body. He then explained the only way to fix this is surgery. I couldnt help but to cry.
I still dont think Heart surgery has set in on me.. it is not open heart surgery but im still not sure how to feel.
