Apparently it was not so much that they missed it before, but as the baby has

grown, the amount of stenosis the coartication is causing is increasing - and

the murmur is releasing all the pressure causing the oxygenated blood to mix

with the blood traveling to the lungs for oxygenation, causing the heart to work

- so stenosis and blending......

Cardiology will be passing a preliminary judgment tomorrow as to whether or not

to do the repair prior to discharge.....

Yuka,

As frustrating, and heartbreaking as it is to think you're on your way home,

and

then to get the Infamous Charge Blindsided Revelation of More Problems,

I am so thankful and relieved that the baby was not discharged.

And that they have found the extenuating circumstances. (duh).

I'm sorry, but HOW did they miss a coarct.

Goodness.

My words of encouragement? Be of good cheer. God is watching over him.

in Ma.
