Life with a baby who has half a heart and Down syndrome

  • They told me that half of her heart did not fully develop (HRHS), and that she had a life-threatening severe coarctation of the aorta as well as Down syndrome. They could not tell me what her outcome would be. This news initially robbed the joy from my pregnancy until I made the decision to celebrate every second with her while pregnant in hopes my positive energy could change her outcome. She came out stronger and bigger than anyone expected. She had no complications with her 2 open heart surgeries that she had at 11 days old and at 4 months old.. The hardest part of her surgeries was dealing with the NG feeding tube that they placed after the first one. She wound up having it for 15 months and we had little support or guidance on how to wean her. She still needs a third surgery and there’s always a chance a heart transplant might be needed. While we wait, we want to raise awareness for congenital heart disease and Down syndrome. The silver lining in everything we have gone through has actually been the Down syndrome aspect. Most people don’t realize what Down syndrome is like until they become a family member or friend of a person with Down syndrome. This video will give others a glimpse of this silver lining.

    I live in a Nursing Home with 31 friends. I asked our great Caregivers if we could have this for our Room Screen wake up call at 7:30! A Carer arrived with a wheelchair I don’t normally use. I was taken to the Unit where our special friends battling Alzheimer’s and Dementia a very sad illness!
    Their doors were open some in their chairs some still in bed. All looking at their room screens watching this Beautiful Mum and her Little Angel. All were sitting in their room’s in silence with big smiles on their faces!
    Thank you!!!❤

    No one. Would ever want a child with Downs Syndrome or any other birth defect over having a healthy child. I think you are being delusional when you say that. I grew up in a family with a CP child. All my aunt worried about was what would happen to her if my aunt died first. She never had more children for fear of another disabled child. At that time, there was no help or resources. Thank God my aunt had means and didn’t need public assistance. She also raised me when my mom died. There is a special place in heaven for her. I wish you well and hope Eve has a good life.
