My 4 year-old had the Glenn (8 1/2 mo) and Fontan (23 mo) We were told there was a 50% chance she would need the first surgery, and she did not. From what I understand, it is not open heart (through the side, under the arm), so if that is the case with Cohen, that will help at such a tiny age. The others, of course, are open heart. I have a CaringBridge site if you are bored. (www.caringbridge.org/visit/macy) The dates of her surgeries were June 13, 2006 and August 29, 2007, so you can search for the journal entries around those dates.

The first cardi we went to was so sweet and tender, but our ped told us she only deals with simpler defects, like holes. It is the most important thing to pick the best team you can. You don't want your son to be a guinea pig! We are in Nashville, but I sent my baby's info to Boston. The cardi there told me Nashville could take care of my baby. That was all I needed to hear. Although she is done with her major surgeries, there are lifelong issues that you will deal with, like him tiring easily and making sure he rests. That is our biggest concern right now. He will be the JOY of your life. When you watch your precious baby endure more than most adults, he will hold the sweetest spot in your heart. It will be a journey you cannot fathom. Always LOOK for the blessings.

Just got your link from another blog. My prayers are with you & your family. Just curious, are they planning for you to have a c-section so as not to stress Cohen's heart during delivery?

Hello there! I read this from a post I saw on another blog and want you to know that I, a complete stranger, will be praying for you and baby Cohen. I just had my first baby 17 days ago, 6 weeks and 2 days early. She in the NICU (day 17) and my heart breaks for you - as I know I would never want anyone else to go through this pain that I have. You are not alone - God is faithful - many prayers to you and your family.

Praying for you and your family! I can only imagine that a million different emotions are flowing through your veins these days....My cousin and his wife had to deliver their daughter at 6 months and a month after that she had to have open heart surgery too {when she was only 1.5 pounds and not even suppose to be out of the womb yet} She just celebrated her first birthday and that proof that miracles happen everyday. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo

Praying for you, the doctors, and baby Cohen! I know several babies who have had their hearts fixed at TCH, and all stories have been wonderful!

I will be praying with you for the results of the amnio. I can't imagine what it's like to have to wait and see, and I pray that you stay strong, and find peace in the Lord. God placed Cohen with you for a reason......he is in good "hands" :) Much love and prayer from Owasso!
