Congenital Heart Defects Suck

People that have read my blog for more than a week will know that we lost Bethy to a series of Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). They suck. They suck the big fat one.

I just had a call from Jo who needed some advice. Turns out lightning has struck the family a second time. Jo's older brother Grant had a baby recently, She stopped breathing last night, and it turns out that one of the valves in her heart is either sticking, or not big enough or something similar.

CHD Strikes again. Let's see the geneticists say they're no connection.

Anyway, Baby Rae has been referred to Guys - not sure for when - and obviously Mummy & Daddy are in a state. As is usual with this community, I will be shouting for information in the coming days. Valves were something I never had any dealings with as Bethy had a series of problems to deal with, valves being the least worrying.

So, valve experts be ready :)
