Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi Susie, My name is Sue, mom to 3 older girls and Alyssa, 11yrs with DS. We live in Michigan. Alyssa was born with a VSD and 2 other holes in her heart. She had heart surgery at 10 weeks. I stayed the whole time with Alyssa while she was in the hospital. When she was in the Intensive Care, I stayed in the lounge with a bunch of other parents who had kids in the unit. Alyssa did so well, and seemed to recover quickly. She started eating better-before the surgery never taking more than an ounce or so at a time. After the surgery, the first time I got to feed her,she gobbled a 4 oz bottle at one time. I remember how amazed I was. She is doing great now, she only goes to her cardiologist every 3 years. She came home from the hospital only on Tylenol (which amazed me too!) If there is anything else I can answer for you, feel free to contact me. Sue & Alyssa-MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
