She seems to have no control with urinating. She sits on toilet and is understanding the routine, but not understanding holding it until getting to toilet. Are there any good potty training books for learning delayed children. Any good advice?

Are you putting her in diapers, or pullups, or underware? I am potty training my own son right now, but my sister has potty trained 5 of her own (one was learning delayed) She told me that if they are doing good to try putting them in underware. It is hard for them to remember to go to the potty if it feels like a diaper between their legs. She said it was easier for them to remember if it was cloth. Also a good thing to think of is it takes 11 months for the average child to become completely potty trained. So (and I know it's hard) try not to get to discouraged. I hope that helps and good luck!!

What cognitive stage is she at right now? If her mental age is lower than 2 or 2 1/2, she's not developmentally ready for potty training.
On the other hand, you can potty train her the same way you would with a puppy. Put her on the toilet after she eats or drinks something. She will develop the ability to wait if she knows what sensations are associated with holding it and going on command.
Something else to consider; get her underwear with her favorite cartoon or Sesame Street character. That way, you can tell her not to get Elmo wet. It worked for my son; he didn't want the Smurfs to get wet!
Tricuspid atresia has nothing to do with potty training; it is a heart defect.
