Did you know that 1 in 100 babies in the U.S. are born with a congenital heart defect? CHD's are the leading cause of infant death, and the #1 birth defect of live infants. The cause of most congenital heart defects are unknown, yet funding for research vastly lags behind childhood cancer and other genetic diseases.

Has your child been diagnosed with l-tga? I would love to talk with you. Please enjoy my blog and email me if you would like to join a network of parents of children with l-tga and other CHD's.

Out of the O.R. !!!

Just a quick update....

The three of us in the waiting room this morning
Dr. Hanley just came and notified us that Nicholas is out of the operating room.  Just as he suspected, the PA Band was ruptured.  He said in all the bandings he's done, this is just the second time he has seen this happen.  He said they got his gradient up to 90mmHg, which is really good, and his LV seems to be holding up well.  We will wait for a few more minutes and then head up to see him once he's all set up in the CV-ICU.  I am so happy right now...that he is doing well and they didn't have to put him on by-pass.
