    My daughter has coarctation of the aorta, aortic stenosis, bicusbid aortic valve, and hypertension. She has had the COA fixed and we are keeping an eye on it. My twins had PDAs when they were born at 29 weeks.

    My son was born with downs and had to have heart surgery when he was 9 months. He is 8 yrs old know. He goes to the heart doctor ever 6 months. he might need surgry again cause of the scar tissue in his heart that is blocking his blood from going to his heart. He still has little holes in his heart. But u wouldn't know it cause he can play with other kids just fine. but it is scarey to worry evey day like i do.

    My two year old daughter has A coarctation of the aorta. Thankfully she seems to be growing out of it but her cardiologist is keeping a close watch on her blood pressures.
