Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Discharge is being put off. Results of the sleep study reveled a third heart defect. Now the darling baby has Coarctation of Aorta (CoA), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis. Initially heart surgery was set into the future - at five or six months. Now it is being scheduled as soon as possible. This precious baby doesn't seem to have any noticeable difficulties managing his secretions post gtube insertion and fundoplication - his oral and nasal cavities are delightfully " just right " , dry and clear. I am so hopeful that in addition to correcting the heart defects themselves that this surgery will resolve the baby's O2 desaturation challenges....and simplify after discharge care...... As always - words of wisdom and of the heart are invited...... y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
