Answers:

Firstly I am NOT a cardiologist, but, the issue you are referring to is one where an opening between the chambers of the heart did not close up properly at birth. This is not unusual. They obviously are going to close it so that the two chambers are separated.

Yes there are risks, it's her heart. I will say this though, it is better for her to have it now than to wait. The older she gets the more risk. Also if she does not have it done, she will be looking at an arrhythmia that will be debilitating later in life when she is too old to operate.

Be glad she caught it so soon and that it will be taken care of.



There are support groups for people who are affected by another person's illness. Your doctor, the internet or your church may be able to help you get in contact with a local group.



when i was a baby i had to have open heart surgery much more riskyer. But now im 13 so i think she'll be fine but ill still pray for her just in case :)
