Re: pulmonary hypertension

Hello again.  I have posted before and you've always been very helpful.  I have another "preschool" question.  I recently did an intake for a three year old who has pulmonary hypertension.  He was placed on a heart-lung bypass machine shortly after birth which apparently is what caused the pulmonary hypertension.  This child currently takes lanoxin and lasix.  The mother says he has no restrictions and there is nothing I should be concerned about.  This mother seems very young and not real knowledgable about this.  Given the seriousness of some of the health problems I have dealt with lately, I just want to make sure I know everything about a child with this condition.  Is this a serious problem with children?  What do I need to be concerned about?  My preschool is designed for children with special needs so health problems will not exclude him from preschool.  I just want to make sure we are prepared.  Thanks for your information!
