DD has 2 leaky heart valves that will at some point) need replacing. As one is at the top of her heart and one at the bottom it will be open heart surgery. It was picked up when she was 9.5yo. They are trying to wait till she's 16 as otherwise it will have to be done twice (due to growth). At her last scan they said it's got a bit worse, and to keep an eye out for certain signs, which she started getting about a week ago. She is getting severe painful pins and needles in her left arm and leg, at least once/twice a day this last week. She is finding it hard to breathe after any exertion, is more sleepy than usual. My GP when I spoke to him over the phone on Wed this week said to bring it up in appt with paed. Problem: No grit=no buses=no school for DS's. No way to get to paed appt. WWYD? It's not severe enough to call an ambulance to go to A&E, but too severe to just ignore till snow fucks off melts. She has also grown " inches since her last scan, and as her valves aren't 'growing with her' I have a feeling that it really IS getting worse.
