What does our little man have??

At about 24 weeks we found out that our little man has what they refer to as Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).  This was THE most devestating days of our lives.  How did this happen?  Why us?? What does it mean?  There are not real answers as to why it happened but the good news is it can be fixed.

We will have a long journey ahead of us.  We will have to give birth in Saskatoon Royal University Hospital to be close to the Pediatric Cardiologist.  We have found out that April 18th is the day as this little guy is just like his big brother Caine and is bum down so a C-Section must be done.  After he is born he will go through tests and we will be refered to the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton to have open heart surgury to fix it and hopefully he can move on to live a normal life. 

We have created this blog so you can follow our journey from April 18th on..... We want to thank everyone for their support and will keep everyone posted as we move forward.
