early June while accelerating, the heart of Louis goes from bad to worse. Now aortic stenosis adds critical left ventricular dysfunction: ie, the left heart does not pump Louis almost over. Fetal circulation allows the right heart to counteract the lack of strength of the left ventricle and the only reason that Louis is still alive.
That day is the first time where I thought Louis was going to die. I am a nurse in intensive care Cardiology Adult and adults when the heart is left is the fucking heart transplant or death ... But that day, the pediatric cardiologist told me that things were different in children: "there is a chance to recover the left ventricle of Louis if we raise the barrier ( the obstacle is the aortic valve in which the ventricle has to pump ran out). It will take him out earlier than we expected and operating as quickly as possible. "
And that day, I thought that it was indeed possible, that she had experience such a situation and that his team had already saved many children like Louis.
Only now I know how the chances of Louis were already extremely thin at this time.
But I , we were not ready to accept the idea that Louis was going to be dying.
