Two holes
Yes today I found out Brynn has not one but two holes in her heart. Still processing what this all means. The great news is that they're small, so I'm trying to stay light hearted. But crapola......I wish that my daughter didn't have any any holes in her heart. And I wish that her weight also put her on the growth chart. For now we just watch things. But...gee....I wish Brynn was without the holes. I just knew that something wasn't right, and now I know I was right. Mommy instinct is never wrong I guess. But in this case I wish it was.

Hey, girl. I've been thinking about you and Brynn, hoping your instincts were not *right on*. Although today you've heard the news that you've suspected, I hope you'll find strength in the fact that we work aside some amazingly talented doctors and nurses who will take superior care of your daughter, when and if she needs it. Hang tight, buddy. You are an amazing mom. And I believe Brynn will continue to thrive, as she has from day one, many thanks to her parents' dedication :-) ((hugs))
I'm so sorry. :*( I wish there were zero too. She'll be in my thoughts. XOXO
My prayers with you and your family that all will be well with her. I hope that just means they will heal themselves and she will be all better. Ms. Brynn is a fighter may she continue to be a strong fighter and pull through this ok.
prayers and Hugs
I was so hoping that you were just going to find out that you were being an over-protective worry wart. I'm sorry that you're instincts proved right. But I know you'll keep trusting your gut and making sure Brynn gets the very best care and attention. Thinking of you all
Oh my friend. I thought about you and Brynn all day long today. I am so sorry to hear this. I am seding lots of love and support. HUGS
I've learned that mom instincts are usually right on, so I'm glad you didn't ignore yours. I am so sorry to hear your news though. In spite of the holes, I also believe Brynn will continue to thrive, grow and overcome this. You all are still in my thoughts and prayers.

Do they expect the holes will close on thier own? Do they do that?
I can only imagine how scary this is...but with proper care I am sure she'll be fine. It sounds like you are all getting on this early and thats important.
Stay strong.
I'm sorry to hear she has two holes, but am glad they are small. I will be thinking of you and your little girl as you overcome this latest hurdle (and you will!).
Been thinking about you both all day...
Oh, Momma ((HUGS))for you and little, sweet Brynn.
I'm sorry that you were right. I hope it is something that will end up being a "oh remember when" for you.
I'm sorry to hear this. Did they say if this is something that corrects itself or will something have to be done?
Praying...
((hugs))
Oh no. Of course you wanted to be wrong about this, but it sounds like this is a not too terrible diagnosis? Unclear.
How long do you have to wiat and see?
You are all in my thoughts.
I, too, am sorry.
I have high hopes that she'll charge right up that growth chart once this issue is resolved and she no longer has to spend all her energy pumping blood!!
Oh Sara. Praying for you and your little fighter. *hugs*
Oh, Sara. I'm so very sorry you are going through this. Brynn is a trooper and I just know that she can make it through. She's been a fighter from the beginning. Thinking of you and your family:)
I'm sorry, smaller is better obviously but you're right- none at all would be ever so much better.
I'm biting down on the urge to get all nosey about the details, because I am a nosey type, but I hope whatever they are, the news in future is only good.

Oh sweetie, I'm SO sorry! Good for you for following your instincts! Sending you so many hugs and prayers!
I'm so sorry. I'm thinking about you and your little girl.
I'm so sorry to hear that. :( Your family will be in my thoughts as you tackle and overcome this next challenge. xoxo
Crap Sara, I'm sorry. I had hoped it would be nothing. I hope that there is soon a plan and that everything is ok. Thinking of you all.
I'm so sorry to hear about her diagnosis. Brynn and your family will continue to be in my prayers. Hang in there.
It is always good to go with mommy instinct, it has always served me right. Of course it isn't always the news you want to hear, but it's there telling us that something just isn't right.
Whatever steps you may need to take with Brynn, we will all be supporting you.
Many Prayers and hugs Sara. I know little Brynn will grow up big and strong - either time or the doctors will fix her heart to make sure she does. She is a very strong little girl - she takes after her mom.
still praying hard..... I'm so sorry you all have to go through this!
Oh, Sara...I'm so sorry.
Thinking of you both. Big hugs.
What a horrible shock for you. Even when you are expecting bad news, it's still like a punch in the stomach. I'm thinking of you Sara and sweet Brynn xxx
I am so sorry. Keeping you and Brynn in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry Sara. I know you are so scared. Please know that I am thinking of you guys!
What does this mean? What were the signs? I'm so sorry!! Are the doctors worried? Can it be fixed? Thinking of you during this uncertain time!
HUGS!!!!1
A mother's instincts, Sara, so true. Thinking of you all with Big ((Hugs)).
I'm so sorry, Sara. Thinking of you both lots.
oh no Sara.....I was hoping for no holes too....
can they still close on their own? does it mean she will need surgery?
Sweet little Brynn...she is in my thoughts constantly....wishing for the best .... sam
Oh Sara, DAMN. I'm so sorry. I'm SO, so sorry.
Sending you all my good thoughts and prayers for you and your family espically sweet Brynn!!
Oh, Sara. I am so sorry to hear this news. I am praying for Brynn.
Sarah,
I'm so sorry to hear this news, but am finding some relief in the fact that both holes are small. If I've learned anything over the past few months is that Brynn is a fighter and so are you. We'll be praying for you and I hope this is all resolved as quickly and easily as possible.
Hugs!
i've been keeping you guys in my prayers. brynn is such a fighter. i know she will get through this wonderfully, just like any other bump in the road she has come to. keep your heads up and know that you're not alone.
Praying for you all.
So sorry for the bad news. I hope you and Brynn get through this easily and as soon as possible. Hugs
Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I will keep her in my prayers. Did they say it was possible for them to heal up on there own in time? I hope so. The good new is is Brynn is a fighter! I am so glad you listened to you instincts!
Oh my, at least they found them and hopefully the doctors will have a plan put together for her. She has very vigilant doctors and parents giving her the very best! Hang in there, it will get better. Remember that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle. You are a strong mommy and you will be strong for Brynn.
Brynn is a still little fighter...please don't worry. With so many people praying for her she'll be ok :)
**hugs**
Sometimes it's nice to be wrong. I'm sorry about this news Sara, but I'm confident that you and your little girl are strong enough to get through this.
Thinking of you all.
I'm so sorry, Sara. I'm sorry your instincts were right :-( Lots of hugs coming your way.
Honey, I am so sorry. I am really praying for you guys.
*hugs*
sending lots & lots of prayers your way!!
A mother always knows...How freaky! Are they an ASD and a VSD? Do they do a closure eventually? They never recommended doing anything to close my ASD- it's pretty small.
I am sorry to hear this about Brynn. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh wow, that's just unbelievable. I hope Brynn will be ok, do the holes close on their own as she grows? Hugs.
I am so sorry that you got this news! You will all continue to be in my thoughts.
(Just an aside- my best friend had open heart surgery as an infant in the 80's- she recovered perfectly & now the only reminder is a scar that gives her great character- kids are so resilient & your little babe is already so strong & such a fighter)
I am sorry to hear this, you and your family will be in my thoughts
Oh hun, I so know how you feel. Hang in there - it's going to be fine. ((hugs))
Sara,
I've been away for a while, but I want you to know that I'm thinking of you. All of you.
Love ya sweetie.
Still keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers...
((HUGS))
Thinking of you and Brynn. Mommy instinct can't be denied. I'm glad they know know and will being doing everything they can to fix the holes. I'm sure everything will be fine but yes, I'd worry too.
HUGS!!!!!
Lots and lots of prayers for all of you, sweetie. I just KNOW your sweet girl is going to be such a strong little person through all of this--she has been a fighter since day 1! Big HUGS!
Oh goodness. That is such scary news to hear. No matter how small they are, no one wants to hear those words in the same sentence.
This is just one more thing for Brynn to prove that she can beat. We all know she can do it! She's your little fighter!
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
