Flashback: The 2nd heart ultrasound

Part of a series on my pregnancy with Lilly.

April 30, 2010 was the date of the 2nd heart ultrasound. They confirmed that Lilly's VSD was still there and about the same. The doctor said it was in a place that it would not close up on its own. However, the heartbeat was strong and the blood flow good.

The doctor said the VSD repair sugery had a high success rate. It would probably occur when our baby was 4-6 months old. Surgery would take about 4 hours with 7-10 days recovery.

Very disappointing news. But we were getting used to the idea. Surgery could fix our baby's heart and then she'd live a long, normal life.
