We took Brady to the Cardiologist today to check on some heart conditions common in children with Downs. We were told on day one that he had "slight" VSD, PDA and PFO. We are very excited to say that the Cardiologist informed us that these conditions are common, very slight in Brady and that we don't need to do anything except let him grow up some more so we can test him again in a year. The DR seemed very unconcerned and only required this visit and the next to be proactive in Brady's care. We were in and out in 5 minutes.
After receiving the news that Brady has Downs, we have been very lucky to learn that he has great muscle tone, doesn't have kidney or heart defects, and eats very well. We recognize that many families have it much harder than we've had, and we very are grateful to have such a healthy baby.
