We were shocked, upset and very concerned. On Tuesday, March 31, 2015, we rushed her back. She started breathing strangely. They took x-rays, and she was placed on oxygen. We were later told her heart had enlarged and she would need additional care and was rushed to ER Specialist. She remained on oxygen and would seen by the Cardo. Specialist.
