First Visit to the Pediatric Cardiologist
Today we took Jereth to the Pediatric Cardiologist. We are blessed to have been referred to a caring heart doctor who has a wonderful manner with both the patient and the parents. She explained exactly what is going on with Jereth's heart. The atrial shunt didn't close when he was born and he has a large (5 mm) hole in the top part of the ventricular wall. For now we will be suplementing his feeding so he gets more calories per milliliter and he will be taking a prescription to relieve the pressure on his lungs. We hope these steps will help him gain weight.
