Wow! What a day - I've had a few of those in my lifetime.
I understand the stress of having a child with a heart defect. My middle son had a bi-cuspid aortic valve. We found out his his 18 month "well baby" check up. They finally decided to tell me that he had a murmur. I was so angry that they kept that information from me -- their reasoning was that many children have innocent murmurs and they don't like to overconcern the parents. Well Hells Bells. I am his mother and I have the right to be overconcerned but they DO NOT have the right to withhold vital information about his health. My little one had dental work performed just two weeks prior to that checkup - WITHOUT antiobotics.....
My guy is not 25 and is an apprentice welder - doing great with no problems. But I can so vividly rember the stress of the echo cardiograms and ekg's.
I'll keep him in my heart and prayers.
Glad to hear that your other baby (mustang) will be home soon. |
