Tomorrow morning my wife will be induced into labor at the Texas Children's Hospital Women's Pavillion. This will be our second child, first boy. My wife had heart issues when she was born and has had open heart surgery 3 times (all before 3 years old) and a heart cath and stent at 27. The Cardiologists at TCH have performed fetal echos and have found that he is likely to have a coarctation, or a narrowing, in his aorta. This is one of the same problems that my wife encountered as a young child. It is also possible that the Transverse arch(top of aorta) is borderline narrow. IF that is the case he'll have to open heart surgery for reconstruction of the arch. There is also a VSD in the lower chambers of the heart, but it is a small hole. I know we will be in the right place, but I still want to ask for your prayers as I know that God hears our prayers and he will never place any burden on us that we can't handle. Thanks in advance
