This is when we first found out about her heart condition. We've gone through a few different diagnoses but here is what she has...
Hypoplastic Left Ventricle - Her left ventricle is very small
Ventricular Inversion - The bottom chambers of her heart are swapped. Left of the right and right on the left. This is why her original diagnoses was Hypoplastic Right Heart.
Double Outlet Right Ventricular - Both her arteries come off of the same ventricule
Ventricular Septal Defect - A hole connecting the bottom chambers of her heart.
Her first surgery will be about a week after she's born and is called the Norwood Procedure.
Ultimately leading to her third surgery when she's 2-4 years old called the Fontan.
I know this is all a bit overwhelming, but best to get it out of the way so I can start posting all the adorable pictures we have only begun to take.
