Please to all of my friends that are pregnant please request a pulse oximetry test at birth, its a monitor that goes on the foot to check Sats and oxygen levels... This helps diagnose heart conditions... Sinead on holly oaks is the reason ALL hospitals should already do this without being prompted... 15 babies a day are born with a heart condition and many of those will go undiagnosed and some like Baby Katy will not make it to there first birthday if untreated... Sinead a story is similar to my mums, no one believed her at all I was diagnosed at 5/6 months, my mum was told she was paranoid by every doctor she saw but she never gave up and I got diagnosed and had life saving open heart surgery at 11 months of age!... Please dont be ignorant and ignore this fact, CHD chooses whatever family it wants and one day it could be your family... Get aware now look out for the signs and symptoms and remember a mothers instinct is IMPORTANT... I was lucky unlike Baby Katy and many other babies that lose the fight to CHD :(...
