I can't believe I forgot to post about something VERY important!! The day before PERCS Brendan had his second check on his heart device. He had an atrial septal defect and had a 20mm umbrella device placed into his heart via heart cath last July. The first post op appointment was a bit disturbing because the Dr. said he saw a few leaks on the ultrasound. With everything else going on in my life I refused to let it bother me and I put it out of my head.
Well the second ultrasound showed ZERO leaks!! The device is almost fully covered by skin and looks great! I am so relieved. One thing I do not have to worry about anymore. His heart is doing great. His grandfather and great grandfather both have (had) bad hearts so this is a very good thing to hear!
It was Thanksgiving day back in 2002. I was only 23 years old and my life forever changed on that day. I had a placental abruption and Brendan was born at 33 weeks. He lost oxygen during delivery due to incompetent care but was a fighter and turned 17 this year. My journey in life over the past 17 years took many turns I was not expecting but I try to stay strong and have my husband by my side even when I am not.
Yes!!!!!!!! that is awsome great news one less stress on a very vusy mama
