My 7 month old son with DS also has an AV canal defect, and the VSD component closed on its own. I am sure I will feel the same anxiety and stress when it comes time for his operation though! Best of luck (not that you'll be needing it!) for the big day. I wish Dylan a speedy recovery, and peace of mind for you too! Stay positive.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734583858930814476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-83283310780154188932008-09-20T14:09:00.000-04:002008-09-20T14:09:00.000-04:00I can't wait until it's all behind you either!I can't wait until it's all behind you either!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604477175816651214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-54809270083487333772008-09-19T16:41:00.000-04:002008-09-19T16:41:00.000-04:00I found your blog on the Gifts website, and even t...I found your blog on the Gifts website, and even though I've only read the last couple posts, I am looking forward to reading more. Our little Matthew had surgery to correct an AV canal defect in May, 2008. (And, by the way, the VSD portion DID close on its own! It CAN happen!) He did incredibly well with the surgery - only 3 days after, he was a brand-new boy, eating better than ever and more active than we'd ever seen him. And, after surgery we were all done with oxygen, feeding tubes, and worrying that every little virus could kill him! Life is very, very good AFTER surgery. But, I know how hard it is to think about putting your child through that - and I know how hard it is to dread that day - and I know very, very well the mixed feelings you have as his mother. Our story, including hour-by-hour updates during the surgery, is on our blog at babymatthew.wordpress.com. If you have any questions or ever just want to talk to a family who's been through it . . . please let me know! Hang in there.<BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-70495324272892789372008-09-19T16:37:00.000-04:002008-09-19T16:37:00.000-04:00I can imagine how stressful this is, but Dylan wil...I can imagine how stressful this is, but Dylan will feel better after the surgery!
