Congenital Heart Defects (CHD)

I tend not to write about Congenital Heart Defects. This is a subject that I shy away from. Chloe is extremely lucky because she only has a few minor heart/vascular defects. As far as we know, Chloe has a no signs of biliary atresia or intestinal malrotation. I guess that why doctors had a hard time detecting heterotaxy until she was five years old.

I do not really understand or know too much about Congenital Heart Defects. It is very hard and complicated to understand. However, I did find two links that you all can read. The first on is Systemic to Pulmonary Artery Shunting. The second one is a where they are making a documentary on CHD.
