Last week at the pediatricians for his 6 month check up the pediatrician said that my son Alex may have a problem with his lower heart valve which could also be causing his low weight since his heart has to beat harder and therefore burn more calories.(he is 12 pounds 12 oz and eats constantly including table food too) He has an appointment with CHOP Cardio on Wednesday but I am a nervous wreck until then...anyone else have stuff like this???

It will all be ok. my son has went through two open heart surgeries on the same day...he is 2 now and he had these when he was 6 days old.
