Yesterday I was informed that my child will be born with Tricuspid Atresia, a single ventricle malformation of the heart that's going to require multiple surgery over the first few years of its life. Their life quality will be impacted.

Our child is high risk, and will be born directly into an Infant Intensive Care Unit.

I...don't even know what to say, other than thoughts and prayers to you and Kate and the baby.

Well, that and it's your kid, so it'll be a tough one.

Oh man, that is a really shocking piece of news, but you will both power through it. It'll be a fighter, and although things might be tough you'll get through it.

You know I'm here and everywhere. I'll drop you my phone number in case you need to text or call. You saw my wall of pain enduring the first two weeks of my kids being away. Chin up, shoulders back, one foot in front of the other, and when you get the chance curl up in a ball and cry and freak out as much as you want. I know it will be hard but do not blame yourself, because it isn't your fault. I'm sorry for any feelings of helplessness you will endure. Curve balls blow.

Oh man. That's serious stuff. Your poor little one.

I think my cousin-in-law was born with that, actually, or something very similar. He's had numerous heart surgeries and was extremely lucky to have been born (back in the 80s) in a hospital which could even operate on him. It's been terrifying for parents, of course.

But he is alive, healthy, happy, and a great guy today. Aside from the obvious hardships of heart surgery as a baby and a teen, his 'quality of life' has been very good.

I hope the best for your little one.

I am really sorry to hear this. Good vibes, love, and strength to you, Kate, and the little one.

all the love and support I can give. While I can't promise to be there every step of the way or there for every sleepless night, I will certainly try. You are in no way alone with this. Every one of your friends loves you.
