Janurary 4,2010 PFO closure

Alot has been going on in 2010 on January 4th Shianne had her pfo closed. For those of you who do not know what a pfo is it is a hole in the heart. We had no idea Shianne had this. I guess she was born with it who would have ever known? She has always been such an active child with tumbling, cheerleading and dancing. It was last fall during football season that she had told me she was having shortness of breath and felt dizzy at practice where she felt like she was going to pass out. I made a dr appointment they did a MRI scan and an echocardiogram with bubble. Sure enough there was a significant hole in her heart wich was causing lack of oxygen to her brain. Her mri revealed white matter on her brain which showed up as mini strokes. It was so shocking to our family where you think your child is so healthy and then this comes up? She now has a device in her heart that seals the hole off she is taking adult aspirin to prevent any blood clots for 6 months.
