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.
