In doctor terms this is what I had: VSD Repair. Also a peristent left superior vena cava was encountered which drained into my left coronary sinus, which then drained into my left atrium.
In people terms this is what I had: Hole in one of my chambers.
I am beyond grateful that the doctors and my Mom were able to make the decision to go ahead with the operation, seeing that I was only almost 2, I couldn't really make decisions for myself! But what if I could, would have I? In all honesty, I haven't a clue, so I am glad I wasn't able to remember a thing. I heard it was pretty crazy though. Seeing your child go through something like that, I am not sure I would have the strength or guts. But my Mom, Grandparents and Auntie did a fabulous job, as from all the stories I hear. Pretty sure that's why my Grandma smoked for so many years. Sorry Nanny ;-) . Anyhow, why I am even writing all this, is because it's about that time for Christian and I to discuss becoming parents.( Not that its happening) So i need to know if:
A) My heart will support all the changes B) If I can support all the changes, will I have to delivery C-section or Vaginally, since Vaginally puts more strain on the heart. C) if my scar will support the weight of the baby. CRAZY to think all these weird things. But I wanna know these answers before even trying AT ALL!
Will let ya know what the Doc SAYS! :-)
