In 1989 my Dr. Put me on a IV drug and admitted me after he had closed my cervix. Did  anyone have to lie in a inverted bed for weeks only to go home on Yutopar pill form and deliver a baby boy with heart problems.

Not only was my son born with heart defects he had a ASD repair before six months he has been on medication for his cardiomyopathy when he turned 18 heart disease progressed he had a defibrillator and pacemaker. During his preschool years he did not adapt the way he should it was hard for him to articulate his thoughts. He also stuttered to the point where I had to get him a therapist he also Hard time reading and writing he also was diagnosed with ADHD and has had a hard time in school is behavior escalated through his junior high and high school years and he did not graduate after he had the pacemaker defibrillator put in they informed me that he could have sudden-death without that operation. In recent years Korey's heart disease progressed to end-stage heart failure he was offered a left ventricular assist device which would be a bridge to transplant or he will just have to live with the LVAD for the rest of his life. The LVAD is considered life-support. It is a machine that is placed inside of his chest hugging the wall of his heart to help the heart circulate blood there is a tube that's on his side and the tube will hook up to two batteries. The tubing from the lvad comes up through the stomach outside of the body and his attached to batteries. Without his health and Coreywood Donnie since the first operation which took place Feb 20th 2013 he developed a infection a couple of months after surgery they were thinking about just leaving the LVAD in and take him off his antibiotics because they had never replaced a LVAD that soon due to infection so his doctor literally told us that they were placing My son on hospice. Korey and I found a way that the doctors were willing to place his second LVAD which took place on July 19, 2013. It was 3 to 4 months and the infection came back so now he's in and out of hospital with blood infection. koreys treating hospital is ucsd. la Jolla he now a Status 7 heart transplant because if you have a active infection and the treatment is strong antibiotics. It puts Korey in the hospital, consequently he is then placed as a status seven last month he had to go in the hospital and he's only been on the transplant list one week and the hospital had to take him off and put Korey on the status of it as of August 31 he's back in the hospital and they took him off the transplant list and he's once again status seven. This has been a tremendous hurdle for Korey medically and emotionally. Korey remains optimistic but he scared at this point I'm wondering if there's anybody out there going through the same experience My son Korey as gone through I am stating that the medication that they gave me during my pregnancy I feel hurt my son and he has had a life long debilitating disease due to a drug that was given to me and I did not know the side effects. I had plenty of side effects I had a racing heart extreme anxiety it was hard for me to lay still in the hospital strapped to a bed that had to be inverted so my operation I had to close my cervix to basically keep my cervix shut. 

24 years later Korey's still suffering he's in the end-stage heart failure with his second LVAD that is now infected he's on antibiotics 24 seven when he gets into the blood he has to come in and stay for a set amount of time until his cultures come back clear then he can go back home still be on antibiotics still hooked up to the LVAD and hoping and praying that he gets put back on the transplant list from stage 7 to 1a it's a waiting game it's painful it's hard My son Korey is in so much physical pain due to the infection in his heart . And so much emotional Pain just waiting for the phone call to get his new heart.
