Nic - just wanted to say 'hi' - although Jack's condition is different to your daughters, I did find out antenatally, Jack had open-heart surgery planned in for just after the birth and we went through that difficult emotional rollercoaster that you're trying to grapple with. We also have a healthy, touch wood, older daughter. As I'm sure others have said or will say, lots of honesty with your son, some special time for him if you can. I found Mia helped me to stay sane as I had to maintain some kind of normal life for her, even though I just wanted to cry and hide away. I'm with you all the way - we're in South London which isn't too near you, but am more than happy to phone/chat if you need to. With much love - we're all here to support you. Melx
