When to call a Dr?

My son is 18 months back in March 2009 he had ultrasound done that showed he had ASD. The Dr told me certain signs to watch out for just incase he needed to be brought back before his next appt. I can't for the life of me remember what she had told me to watch out for. Does anyone else know??? I'd like to have them wrote down just incase. I didnt think to write them down at the time bc I was still in shock from her telling me he had a hole in his heart. PLease someone help. I cant find them online maybe im just not looking in the right places

i dont know if a vsd is the same kinda heart problem as a ASD but my 6 month old had his VSD closed almost two months ago. before he had his surgery the heart doctor told me to watch out for him sweating a lot his ribs sinking in when he breaths his tongue turning purple and him not eating. i hope this helps you out. and i will pray that your son does very well and doesn't need surgery like my son did
