The Dr also though this baby was suffering the effects of an unknown virus that the mother had picked up during pregancy. There were symptoms in the blood but they could not identify. All test were negative & they had no idea the hole in the heart was so big until they went in to fix it. The baby ate thru a feedng tube for almost a year. He spent months in neo natal ICU in a NYC hospital. It was bizzare but the baby is recovering now but it is behind in development. He is almost 2 years old now.

Of course, I'm no Dr. or medical expert. And sometimes, unexpected miracles do happen.
And Lord knows, I came real close to dying once because my unusual gall bladder stones caused weird symptoms that the Dr.'s couldn't figure out untill they did surgery, so I know Dr.s can make mistakes.
But she is in one of the best children's hospital's in the country. And her case has been reviewed by many pediatricians.
I'm pretty confident that the Dr.'s are right.
