PRAYERS DESPERATELY NEEDED

I had my boy on May 4th. (Induction but not really because they only broke my water. No meds to start labor) I was only in the hospital for 4 hours before I met my little boy. (This is my first baby) I held him skin to skin for 25 minutes and handed him to daddy so he could hold him. Then the nursery had to take him to give him a bath and shots.. all that normal stuff. The doctor came to see him and my mom over heard her say that he had a heart murmur... 5 hours later they came in and told me it was just a small murmur and not to worry. All the sudden I'm told he's going to have fo be transported to Arkansas Childerens Hospital asap.. the nurse came in and she and my mom got me in the shower. I bawled so hard.. the nursery lady had to come in on me in the shower and I had to sign papers while dropping wet so he could be taken... they wheeled me into the nursery to have a 2 minute goodbye to my baby... I got to touch his feet...
The ambulance got there and wheeled him into my room in an incubater .. I only got to touch his feet and say goodbye..
I waited all night without my baby... 1 am I got a call from the doctor at ACH.. he told me my baby has to have open heart surgery when he turns 4/6 months...then again when he's 3... he was supposed to have one at 2 weeks but they said he won't have to have that one thank God..
He's got DROV (Double right outlet ventrical) , pulmonarysterosis , and VOS ( ventricular septal defect)...
By the time his surgeries are all complete he will only have a 3 chamber heart...
Other than all that he's the most perfect baby... he's a week and a day and already 7 lbs 9 oz (one oz past birth weight)...
Please pray for my sweet baby boy, Cohen. . My heart breaks every time I look at him. . .

@leelee72 I will be praying for you and your baby! And if you ever need me I'm here !
@jmorneau09 that makes me feel much better! The doctors said he'd be like a normal kid afterward but it still is just so hard :'C
@rositalynda2014 he didn't catch it. He always told me he had a perfect heart and everything else. He said "don't change a thing because he's perfect" Every time I went in. [I had ultrasounds every single time I went to my OB appointments]. But he walked in the room the day after Cohen was taken to ACH and my mom started crying and he was confused and said "happy tears?" And she shook her head and he got super concerned and she told him what happened and he almost cried. Teary eyed and all. And he hugged me in my bed and I cried.
My mom and I are close with him. He's an amazing doctor and I love him like an uncle it's crazy.
