My third son Jacob was born on February 28, 2008.   He is my third child.  Right from the beginning I knew something was wrong, but I did not know what.  He did'nt take to nursing, his coloring seemed a little blueish, low weight gain, fussiness, fatigue, and the list goes on.  I kept taking him to the Dr. over and over. I even took him to emergency.  They told me he was just fussy.  The last Dr. appointment, they heard a heart murmer.  I've had the same pediatrition for 13 years and trusted him.  He did'nt send Jacob for any further testing.  On May 26, 2008, which was Memorial Day, I woke up and Jacob was blue and was'nt breathing.  I am angry because it was overlooked.  Jacob could of had a surgery and very possible a normal life.  I know God took him from us for a reason, but negligence on the Dr.'s part played a big role in his death.  I just want to share with you my experience with a child with a Ventricular Septal Defect.
