Friends lied to us

So me and my husband made friends with another couple at school when picking up kids over ten years ago we became really goods mate. All the kids got along so everything was brilliant ( holidays, days out, nights out). We have 2 kids 1 child that has a serve heart condition which has led him to have several surgery’s in his life with still more to come in following years. as friends they knew about my child health.

Friends they went on to have another child which when baby was born they told me that she has a heart condition so we offered help and support and advise to them (I did find it strange that when they told use they didn’t seem to bothered with the news)
so today I got a shock when grandparents of child picked up other kids from school as the child was in hospital and when I asked how heart condition is they said she not got a heart condition

so now I’m confused to why they lied to use when they no what it as been like for use and all the worry we have been through and still are.

I feel angry I am glad her daughter ok but feel like how can they been friends with us with a big lie like that

Also sometimes I don’t mention things ( nothing that big in my case) to grandparents as I don’t always want to have to be reminded of them ( if they are slightly unhappy things) at moments when they want to discuss them but I’m coping well with it. Sometimes mums, especially, don’t really filter with their DD!

Hi, could it be that they used to have a heart condition, but don’t anymore? I think some babies are born with heart murmurs which later go? You don’t know for sure that they lied. If I were in your position, I’d pull them up on it. It could all be innocent yet! Not worth ending the friendship over until you know for sure! :)

One of my children was born with a heart condition that rectified itself , I can't even remember how old they were when they were signed of by the consultant. I doubt if any of my family even remember it
