His name is Thomas, and he will turn 8 years old on March 30th. I just happened to come across your blog because Thomas has been asked to do a presentation to his 2nd grade class on Monday about his heart. I was looking up images that I could print, and your blog popped up. We didn't know about his heart defect until he was born either. The Dr's even did a fetal echo when I was about 25 weeks pregnant, and told me 90% chance his heart would be perfect (which is the best chance they could give anyone). So we were shocked and terrified when he was born, also via emergency c-section, and it took about an hour for them figure out the real problem. The Life Flight Team took him to Children's immediately. He had a Septostomy the day he was born in the cath lab, and they did the Arterial Switch at 10 days of life. I wanted to reach out to tell you that I understand the paranoid feelings. For a while, I thought every ear infection meant there was something wrong with his heart. It will get so much better in the years to come. Thomas is a perfectly healthy 2nd grader who can do everything that any other kiddo can do. He has no limits, and neither will Kaleb. He will grow up and be proud of that scar on his beautiful chest, and enjoy sharing his story with others. My advice, write it down in a journal for him so that when he grows up, he can read it from your prespective, and in your own handwriting. It has meant a lot to Thomas. I hope this helps, you are definitely not alone... God Bless your sweet little Kaleb...<br /><br />AnnemarieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321221231894860573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864601177999329851.post-7811231699332357132011-03-05T14:05:37.929-08:002011-03-05T14:05:37.929-08:00Hi Kaleb
