Sad news - T's and P's
May 31, 2019, 12:22 PM
|
|
SarahAdidas's brother and wife are expecting their first child. She's about 20 weeks along, so they went to the OB to find out the sex of the baby this morning. She's a girl, but she has a major heart defect. I'm not sure what the long-term implications are, but SarahAdidas was bawling on the phone... They're going to head to Charleston to be checked out. SarahAdidas is all torn up about it, and I am certain that her brother/sis-in-law are hurting big time.
T's and P's if you're so inclined. Positive Vibe's are also accepted.
I hope everything works out.
It really makes me grateful for my two healthy young'uns.

Seriously it's amazing what doctors can do these days

with the heart.
A little boy in my town has a heart defect where every beat of his heart tears the muscles and lining just a bit. The doctors have pretty much said he won't make it past a certain amount of beats or something.
Little dude is still trucking and they said he wouldn't make it past Christmas.

day as my daughter, tough first 6 months but good now. Same heart defect that Greg Olson's kid has, i think. Coworker just had a kid who was born with some heart defects as well but he is doing pretty good at about 2 months old. Good luck to them, I am sure it is stressful AF for everyone involved.

Hope everything goes very well and this is just a faded memory when they aren’t getting any sleep after the baby comes home healthy.

I can't even imagine what they are going through. My wife is at 8 weeks now and every visit just brings a whole lot of stress on what they may see (friggin ultrasound every week right now due to high risk). Especially sensitive to those matters, hope everything turns out ok.

Their pediatric unit is top notch. Its seriously some sci-fi #### that they can do these days. Especially when you're talking about surgery on newborns.

one of the 3-D printing labs on campus. He works closely with MUSC and has even taken an MRI and printed a heart valve for a pre-mie than was surgically implanted to replace the failed one. Unbelieveable.
Hope for the best.

Allow me to regale you with a nice story
Jun 3, 2019, 7:47 PM

A former Clemson great (taking liberty with that word) had a daughter with a defective ticker. She had three surgeries before she was 2 months old. Had another one around 3 years old. Grew up normal, healthy kid who took pride in her scars.
She played the toughest position on the field for me, goal keeper, and she is in the Coach MauldinT HOF. So much so, every year I tell my team this story and the most deserving kid gets called this young ladies name the entire season.
She graduated from Clemson in 2018, and is in grad school out west studying to be a film writer.

Anyone who is a real fan back then would know if I dropped the name.

Vibes sent man

I've got 2 close friends who've had kids within the last two years with a heart problem. Both of which are now alive and well, kicking it, and awesome kids. Both cases were identified in pregnancy, and fixed/resolved immediately after birth.
Take solace, if you can, knowing that there are some smart sombiches out there and they've come a long way in this type of thing.
PM me if you need any references or anything like that. One family was in Nashville (Vandy hospital), other out in Denver (dunno hospital), but they live in Athens, GA now and would be more than happy to help any way they can.
