I have had pulmonary hypertension all of my life because of a congential heart defect but it has always been classified as mild. In August I was hospitalized because my fingers and lips were blue and I coughed so hard I broke a rib. On Tuesday I have a follow up with the local cardiologist and pulmonologist and then in March I will see a specialist at a bigger hospital about 2 hours away.

Sorry, I pressed the wrong button. I am just asking for some prayers to help me get through this and hopefully they can control this with just medicine. I am so scared for my children. My mother died when I was just 18 and it is so hard when you are that young. Thank you for listening. It feels good just to be able to talk about it. Maureen

Maureen, I will be praying for you and keeping you in my heart. They have come so far with these things these days - don't worry so much about it - just do what they ask and keep an open mind. Be strong for your children - for if they see you worried they will be as well.
