I got a call at 4am this morning that Liam was really struggling to breathe andso the Dr had an xray done and he has fluid in his lungs which they thought was due to a hole in his heart that they had given him medicine to close when he was born. When i got to the hospital he was back on a nasal cannula and had an iv in his head, the Dr had an echo cardiogram done on him but was still waiting for the reaults. I was allowed to get him out and hold him and then the Dr came in with the results it wasn't the hole like they thought it was another issue with his heart valve not functioning right and being partially blocked. We were packed up and transported by ambulance to the university of Iowa hospital where they have the best nicu in the state and a whole team of pediatric cardiologists. As of right now Liam is stable he is getting a blood transfusion and will be closely monitored until he gets a little bigger or until his heart gets worse at which point he will have to have a surgical procedure to temporarily open up his valve until he is old enough to have it completely replaced. This happened all so suddenly I am still in shock a little bit, yesterday we were working on teaching him to eat and now we are here adjusting to a whole new nicu that is almost 2 hours from home.
