Finding out your first unborn child has a very serious heart defect is quite a numbing experience. When we were told our baby had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, after a level II ultrasound and were told our options of surgeries, heart transplant or compassionate care, it went without saying that we would do whatever it took to save our baby. After having more ultrasounds and speaking with the pediatric cardiologist, we were referred to Nemours Cardiac Center and Dr.William Norwood. After consulting with Dr.Norwood and hearing the strength,confidence and compassion in his voice about the 3 stage surgeries ,we knew that was what we wanted for our baby. All arrangements were made and the pregnancy was closely monitored.
