The road to a diagnosis

At our 20 week ultrasound Dr. Hutchison (My OBGYN) noticed a slight abnormality of baby's heart, although not sure he ordered another ultrasound wondering if it may have been the baby's position or just a bad picture. So another ultrasound was ordered, around 25 weeks the ultrasound tech continued to have a hard time getting a good picture of baby's heart at this point I was told that the heart looked abnormal and possibly one chamber was smaller than the rest, I was then referred to Dr. Rose (Perinatologist) at IMC in Murray. At this appointment Dr. Rose explained that there is a problem with the heart they are still unsure of what is wrong and we were told I needed to go to Primary Children's to have and echo cardiogram to get a diagnosis. The next available appointment was 2 weeks later, the 2 weeks have gone by so slow and the wonder and concern for our child has grown and grown. Tomorrow is the day and with so much anticipation I can not wait to finally have somewhat of an answer.
