Hi, It's tough to know that your son has two conditions, that he will have for the rest of his life. But look, your son is among the lucky ones who have the right diagnosis, among those babies born everyday with no definite diagnosis of their disease... Talk to the doctor, he must have explained already these two conditions, g6pd babies, as you know, can live normally as long as they avoid food/medications that trigger the symptoms, and that some congenital heart disease patients have mild structural defects (asd,vsd, etc) and are asymptomatic. They can live long lives as long as they take care of their health. It's normal to worry, its human nature, because i know you love him and want the best for him. You'll do great! Nevertheless, remember that you have a growing baby boy, and no matter what conditions he may have, you do have one of life's greatest blessings. :)

I really don't think there is a way to ease your worries. My son has Congenital heart disease. He had to have open heart surgery when he was 11 days old. We spent 5 months in the hospital 4 of that in the ICU. He unfortunately went into cardiac arrest after his surgery and was placed onto life support. I was told to say goodbye to him twice. Everyday I worry that he won't wake up. The doctors have assured me that they are not concerned about his heart right now. But, that only gives a small amount of reassurance to a mother of a sick child. All I can say is it will start to get a little easier. My son is 9 months old now. I have had him home for 4 months. At first I couldn't even sleep in my bedroom. I slept with him in his swing and me right next to the swing on the couch. I would get up every hour or so just to see if he was pink and breathing. Slowly I moved his crib into my room and started sleeping in my own bed. The worry has slowly gone down. I still worry when he is down for a nap that I am going to walk into the room and find him blue and not breathing. I am not sure if that will ever go away. I hope so. I think for me it's going to take a long time
