My Baby's heart and Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Posted by Bhem..Mother of TONET WITH pda
Tonet was diagnosed with PDA when she was like 6 days old. Her pedia discovered a murmur in her heart that she wanted to have the baby undergo an echo. The cardio was able to find out a 5mm PDA and a small 3mm PFO in her heart. It made me feel bad..realy bad that it rises my BP rocketing high to 150/100. The heart doc tor gave her diuretic to let out all the excess water and not to flood my little baby's lungs. So far ,that's the only medication she had since. The doc said shes ok and seems like not affected by the holes. We are advised to repeat the echo when tonet is 1 month old. Somewhere in January ,2010, we went to the hospital for the echo and hurray!the 5mm PDA went down to 3mm and PFO is tstill persistent. It was a sweet music to my ear when doc said she thinks the holes are closing. She never gave tonet medication for anything but told us to let the nature close the holes. We were advised to have the echo again when tonet turns 4 months. By this time, the holes might be fully closed and if not, this might definitely not close anymore. It made me feel nervous. I dont want that thing in her heart' to stay. I prayed hard for those to close.
But just recently,we went for tonet's echo and hurray!the PFO is gone..but the PDA is still persistent in small diameter(2mm). Well, Im still very thankful since the dotor said the baby was ok.The holes were too small to be worried.
