Adam was healthy up until now. He started to swell up and was having a hard time breathing. So I took him to the pediatrician and the nurse practitioner looked at him and listened to his heart and lungs and said there is nothing wrong with him. I did not believe this so I called his cardiologist and told him what was going on. The cardiologist which his name is Dr. Qureshia told me to bring Adam to him so he can look at him. Well when we got there one look and he said to take him to the Cleveland Clinic. He did not listen to him he said that Adam was in congestive heart failure. So he had to get lasix to get the swelling down. When that happened Dr. Qureshia said he needed to do a heart cath on Adam. So they did the heart cath and he had to much blood going into his lungs and that his ASD was closing up so they had to open that up. We spent the next week in the hospital. They scheduled his surgery 1 week later.
