    My oldest son was born with HLHS in 1996.  He survived the surgeries and will he turning 16 this month.  I went on to have 4 more pregnancies.  Two of them ended in miscarriage of unknown reasons before the 3rd month.  The two that were successful required indepth ultrasounds of the heart just to make sure all the pieces were there.  For every pregnancy after my HLHS baby I was worried that the ultrasound wasn't right.  But I was reassured that everything was the way it was supposed to be.  My best advice is to ask lots of questions. Remember that your health care team is composed of trained professionals that can answer any question you have.  Because of my experiences with HLHS I went back to school to become a cardiac sonographer.

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!  My prayers are with you.
