hi just thought i would say my daughter was born with heart defects and suffers from pulmonary valve stenosis she is 1 on oct 7 and was born 3 months early.
I have heard of noonans syndrome and at the clinic we attend there are children with this condition.
cardiac consultants are brilliant and will advice on what to do, look out for and when / if she needs surgery.
Good luck and I hope your lo is doing well despite this shock you both have to deal with.

Take photographs of her blue lips and legs, in good light, so that he can see exactly what you are talking about. I can really relate to some of the things you have written here.

Velocity means how fast blood is moving . The trival pulomary regurgittation simply means that the blood has a slight blackflow through the pulonary valve. Are you seeing a pediatric cardiologist for this? If not, that is the specialist you should be seeing.
