There are too many people in
the world today who forget how BLESSED they are to have healthy,
happy children. When the assumption of a healthy life is taken from you,
you begin to realize that every day is a gift from God & you learn to
live & be thankful for every day you have with your child. The good
times become important & you learn to forget or overcome the days when
health is poor. You learn to slow down & love whatever each day brings
& are a better person for it.
Becky aka BB was born in June 1994, with a lethal heart
Condition called Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome & Pulmonary
Atressia. **HYPOPLASTIC RIGHT HEART SYNDROME: A condition in which the
right side of the heart is poorly developed and unable to pump blood into
the pulmonary circulation effectively. **PULMONARY ATRESIA: Complete
obstruction to the pulmonary valve or pulmonary artery; so that blood
cannot get past this point in the circulation and has to take an
alternative route **FONTAN OPERATION: An operation to connect the main
veins from the systemic circulation (SVC and IVC) to the lung arteries.
Blood then flows directly into the lung circulation, after returning from
the body (via gravity), without going through the right ventricle as would
happen in a normal heart.
