Congenital Heart Defect Stories
You are not alone in carring
your child with a congenital heart defect to term. This
is what Seamus’s mom said in regards to their
adverse prenatal diagnosis of Hypo Plastic Left Heart
Syndrome:
“I think one of the scariest
times for us was just after Seamus was diagnosed. My
husband looked Hypo Plastic Left Heart Syndrome up on
the internet. The first article that he read suggested
therapeutic abortion or letting the baby die after birth
because this heart defect is so severe. Looking back
now, I am glad we never even gave that a thought. The
medical community is making such huge advances in this
area that much of what is found is outdated misinformation.”
