Hello, my name is Roxanne Romero. My unborn son was currently diagnosed with HLHS. I went to a scheduled ultrasound and they attempted to look at the baby's heart but couldn't get a good view. I had two other attempts from the techs after this between 18-23wks. My last ultrasound was on a Monday and the doctor came in and saw that the baby’s left side of his heart looked underdeveloped. So I was scheduled to see a pediatric cardiologist on Wednesday.

This was the most horrible day of my life. The tech took about 40+ ultra sounds of the baby’s heart and then I met with the cardiologist and he gave me the news. I was so devastated. I wasn't sure what to think, what to do and my life had just become a roller coaster ride. Sadness and heart ache, emotions after emotions.

My boyfriend and I talked about the options and chose to go with the three stage surgery. I will be on my way to Denver in September to deliver my son. Everything has changed so much and all my plans are gone. We are just praying for a miracle, having faith and staying positive. Our lives have done a complete 360. It is definitely going to be a journey for us. We are ready for the ride because there is nothing more that my son deserves but a chance at life. They say God never gives you what you can't handle. Please keep us in your prayers and I will keep everyone updated on our little angel.
