I have asked on here at least 10 times about my son however this one I need to word differently to get help. My son is 15 mos old and has Atrial Septal Defect plus valve stenosis and Bicuspid valve. He sees a pediatric cardio. every scheduled visit which is every 6 months right now. Dr said that the situation right now is mild but probably will require surgery within a few years. This absolutely overwhelmes me. It takes over my life, my ability to let loose, have fun, be calm or relaxed, it affects my marriage because I never feel happy anymore. I feel like I am on a time table with my son who is the highlight of my life, who I think I would die if anything ever happened to, I am a basket case whenever normal baby things happen, like he lays his head down on things & I think this means he's tiring too easily, he had a high fever the other night & acted strange and I thought he was in heart failure, I am not coping well and have seen drs but I dont want to be medicated, please help
