Last week we when to the cardiologist planning to schedule open heart surgery within the next 2 months. Doc did an echo and EUREKA!! The lower half of her heart between the ventricules has closed up and her heart is working more efficiently than it needs to!! The attria is still open , but no. surgery until DD is 9-12 months!
