My grandson, born on the 1st of May, initially put on weight and was obviously thriving. He then began to lose weight to the point that the breastfeeding specialist advised formula top ups. He is quite a wheezy baby and today my daughter noticed his lips had a bluish tinge so she took him straight to the GP who diagnosed him with a heart murmur and has requested an urgent referral to a paediatric cardiologist for an echocardiogram. My daughter knows that her sister and niece also have heart murmurs, that haven't caused any undue problems, but she's still beside herself with worry. I'm away from home at the moment, about to attend my niece's wedding - so I can't do my usual mercy dash to reassure her.
