What a great shot of such a gorgeous little fella. You can see that he was a bright, happy and loved boy. Lovely, little Billy.

Hugs.

You know yer a heart mam when...

.....the predictive text on your phone sails through "echocardiogram", "cardiovascular", "catheter", "pulmonary atresia", "mapca's" etc....

.....you're happy when your babes gains 50grams

....sats of 80??? Sheesh, he's pink!!!

.... you are on first name basis with your local pharmacist

.... You keep getting asked if you are a nurse when explaining your child's medical history

.... You can understand and work a sats monitor better than most trained nurses can

....You run through the whole of your childs medical history from memory cos you've done it so many times before

....you think there is something wrong if your child doesn't have a strange, bluish moustache on his/her top lip, or have cold hands and/or feet

....You have more syringes than teaspoons in the kitchen drawer

... the other children in your family don't bat an eyelid when another child is sick during dinner time because they are so used to it at home

.... You have cried more since having your heart child than you have in the whole of your life

....you realise the important things in life.

....you are on first name terms with many of your childs doctors.

...when you look at your special little heart child, you are the proudest mummy in the whole wide world, no words can explain that feeling.

...When explaining your childs condition to friends you get the reply he will get better though wont he/she

...when you seriously contemplate liquidising doughnuts and syringing them into your 8 week old baby in an attempt to get them to gain weight

...Because if you hear the words "yeh but its amazing what they can do nowadays isnt it, they can fix it cant they?" again you are going to scream

...when seeing your child acheive ordinary milestones makes you cry with happiness.

...The list of phone numbers on your mobile phone contain, Cardiac liason nurse, hospital ward, drs, chemist.

...When you get annoyed if other non heart kids parents compare their children and their development with your child(even if its something really insignificant to them)

...When it feels like everyone you meet know, someones auntie/cousin/hairdresser etc, who's "got a hole in their heart and their fine now"!!

...When everyone says prayers will fix everything!!

...Because there are times when you sit by their bed, watching them sleep with tears streaming down your face not knowing what the future holds.
