We are a family of four who became five on November 17, 1993 when I gave birth to our third daughter. She was born with undiagnosed HLHS!! She had her Norwood when she was 30 hours old, her Glenn in April 1994 and her Fontan in December 1996. She has just had her 18th birthday!! She graduated from Grade 12 in June 2011. She has her driver's licence and is working as a nannie. Life has been pretty darn good. She did functional academic during high school. She had speech delay and language and articulation delay. She does have cognitive processing and learning delay but to talk with her you would never know. She is amazing. She has had her appendix out at age 14 and had surgery for a broken ankle from falling off her bike at age 15 and yes, I told her she was fine!! We got x-rays the next day!! I'm not the first mum to send their child to school with a broken something!! And won't be the last!! LOL!! All normal stuff. I wish you much happiness with your daughter as she too grows into a very remarkable young lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771856869637590830.post-87077666899560903602011-11-04T07:48:42.476-07:002011-11-04T07:48:42.476-07:00you don't know me but i follow your blog,i als...you don't know me but i follow your blog,i also have a 19month old son with HLHS and the same things that who wonder when you see your little one are the same fears i have.
