A FEW NOTES......
*Davis has been tested for both heart defects and so far is not showing any problems. The defect Subaortic Stenosis can develop even after birth so he will continue to be monitored.
*Subaortic Stenosis is the defect I had open heart surgery for when I was 8 years old and it is also the major defect that my older sister Rachel died from.
*Bicuspid Aortic Valve is the defect the doctor thought would kill me during pregnancy. Since the valve is not properly developed it could give out due to the extra pressure from the pregnancy leading to death.
