The left picture shows Olivia's Collection of defects. Specifically the Atretic/Non-Existent Main Pulmonary Artery. This defect was caused by a failure of the Aorta to migrate to the correct position over the Left Vebtricle. The 'middle' migration of the Aorta basically squeezed out the atachment site for the Pulmonary Artery. Amazing how a relatively small change in developmental movement can have huge consequences for life
The right picture shows the the planned shunt going from her right ventricle to the junction of her Pulmonary Arteries. This should increase the blood flow through both sides of the Pulmonary Vasculature, hopefuuly stimulating her undersized vessels to grow.
Wanted you to know that my Mum and my sister and her family are all thinking of you all and mandy is going to add Olivia to her church prayer chain on Sunday. Ben would you give our love to Sara and Olivia too xx
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know all three of you are constantly in my thoughts - I can't wait to see her when you all are back home, safe and sound. :-)
