Question

One of my friends just found out their baby has a congenital heart defect while still in the womb. We're all really worried about what this means for the baby's health. Can you give some advice on what steps should be taken next or what options might be available for treatment? It's such a scary time, and we'd appreciate any insights you can offer.

Question

I'm really worried about my daughter who's 81 days old. She has a PDA of 3.2mm as per her recent echo report, but last month it was 3.7mm. Her breathing isn't normal during feeding times. Do you think the PDA can close on its own, or should we be considering surgery? If surgery is needed, are there any long-term health issues we should be concerned about? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Question

My baby is just over 2 months old and he has a 6.5 mm mid muscular vsd with left to right gradient of 10 mmHg. I'm really worried because he's not gaining weight, he only weighs 3.3 kg right now and he was 2.200 gms at birth. His breathing seems really fast and during feedings, he takes lots of breaks. What should I do?
