Re: congenital heat disease
tons of people are born with congenital heart diseases that very from completely negligible to some incompatible with life at birth for instance transposition of the great vessels which requires immediate surgery for survival..
what kind of CHD are you born with if you don't mine me asking?
I was born with an inherited form of anemia, everyone has something that they have to live with:
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوفْ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الأَمَوَالِ وَالأنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ {155}
[SIZE=-1][Pickthal 2:155] And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast,
3:186 [/SIZE]Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your personal selves; and ye shall certainly hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the Book before you and from those who worship many gods. But if ye persevere patiently, and guard against evil, then that will be a determining factor in all affairs.

Re: congenital heat disease
I was born with a common congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect (a hole between the right and left ventricle of the heart). It didn't heal later on so I had surgery at 7 years. Its a common procedure and Alhamdullilah I had no symptoms associated with the CHD. Although I did and still do faint occasionally and feel dizzy, fatigued it is not associated with the CHD. At 15 years I was told that my heart is functionally normally and I no longer have to go for regular check ups.
So Alhamdullilah as sis skye said it is almost completely negligable.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him ) is reported to have said ,"How amazing is the affair of the believer. Everything is good for him - and that is for no one but the believer: If good times come his way, he is thankful and that is good for him, and if hardship comes his way, he is patient and that is good for him." (Authenticated by Al-Albani)
May Allah swt make it easy for you...Ameen

Re: congenital heat disease
I to was born with a common congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect (a hole between the right and left ventricle of the heart).
Mine is only a small hole, when I was born, they said it would heal up, but it hasn't to date. I had check ups up until about 3 years ago I think it was when they said I no longer had to come for regular check ups and only if I felt there was something wrong I should go. I've never had surgery for mine, it's so small it doesn't cause me any problems at all.
When I was younger they said I wouldn't be allowed to fly on planes, but then when I got older I checked with my doctor and he said it would be fine :statisfie and Alhamdullilah so far so good.

Re: congenital heat disease
Hope your in good health, i have CHD, mine was repaired when i was born, the op that i had was transportion of the great vessels, Alhumdolilah i have been well n had regular chekups till 15, im now seeing a cardiologist again as i wish to start a family soon Inshaallah. It may be easier for people who are born with CHD becasue it is something we have had to grow up with, i know sme pple find out later in life that they have CHD which can be disturbing as you have jst had a normal life until then. Anonymous i do not knw you situatin as in what CHD you hve or wer you born with it etc., Try not to worry about it Allah SWT will make it easy it for you Inshaallah, jst keep praying. I know it may seem scary and you probly have a lot of question you wnat answering, CHD is not something you inherit its jst one of them thing that can happen to anyone, if you are living in the UK you can join a forum called GUCH, its evryone who has CHD and they jst chat bout evrthing and ask others question, Inshaallah that mite help you, I have joined up 2 it and find it useful. Even thos i have had this disease since birth n im now 27 i still have question, i read up about it on the internet aswell, when i was born my CHD was bad as my parents had to pray the kalimah for me a few times
take care.

Re: congenital heat disease
sob7an Allah.. whenever I think no one can top my problems, I read of other people's woes and I am completely humbled ..
May Allah grant you all shifa, happiness in this life and the hereafter insha'Allah..
I just want to add a quick note, that many of these 'congenital holes' so to speak are physiological places where the blood bypasses certain structure in utero, since your mother breathes for you, you don't really need pulmonary and systemic circulation to occur as it does after you are born.. usually after birth in a few days these holes close on their own.. but in some individuals they are bigger than usual or fail to close.. some are negligible and some require surgery.. but medicine has so advanced now that there is really nothing to worry about if you seek proper care insha'Allah..
and Allah swt knows best

Re: congenital heat disease
most babies have a normal physiological murmur of the newborn, it doesn't mean your child has a congenital heart disease:

Re: congenital heat disease
al7mdlillah that it was caught and repaired early, many people go into their adulthood not knowing they have this problem, which occurs at the same location where the ductus arteriousus closes.. sometimes this becomes an area of narrowing which may not be discovered until one is well in their adulthood and years of high blood pressure and frequent miscarriages occur amongst other things..
I am not belittling at all this event akhi/ukhty... but Allah swt in his infinite wisdom has enabled the doctors to discover this early on and have it repaired right away.. insha'Allah from this point forward your child can live a normal life.. have hope and faith and insha'Allah, enjoy the company of your little one ..
May Allah swt bless you and yours..

you'll just have to take it one day at a time, like the rest of us.. anyone of us is at a threat of something going wrong at any time..
many people are at a threat of endocarditis and undergo prophylaxis by simply taking antibiotics, endocarditis is in fact treatable, and I am not suggesting your baby will ever be at a threat of developing that.. my mother always takes antibiotics before undergoing any dental procedure for exactly that purpose..
and this isn't an inheritable disorder so don't worry about it and again take it one day at a time, your baby hasn't even crawled yet how can you be worried about that far down the road?
sis/br. pls be grateful for the gift of a beautiful child, know that many folks including my own sr. has had miscarriages, or no children at all (me) and that everyone has a sorrow, you are not singled out for it, but the way you deal with it insha'Allah shall speak volumes of your character, so be thankful to Allah swt for the gift that you do have and the gift of health-care which many folks aren't blessed with..

^^ ya ryt sis alhamdulillah of course im grateful more than can be expressed in words. I knw ders ppl out there worse than me ive seen it with my own eyes. Wat my baby had done in the context of heart surgery was i quote ''NOTHING'' compared to wat they deal with. Alhamdullilah i cudnt thank Allah swt more 4 giving me the strength to get theu the most difficult tym of my life. Seeing my son on a herat monitor and wires and beeping machinery wen he was just a day old and Carrying him to the operating theatre in my arms whilst he was screaming for milk which i cudnt giv him due to the fast b4 the op and seeing him put to sleep with a mask surrounded by al dat equipment was the most horrific tym of my life. and then seeing him in ICU with tubes and wires in every single part of his body was horrendous. I would not wish my worst enenmy to go thru that. Shukr alhamdulillah hes ok.
And i know im thinking wayyyyyyyy dwn the line but as his mum i have 10000000000000000000000000 concerns.
May Allah swt bless u and your sister with healthy pious children inshallah i wil make dua 4 u sis
p.s. wats rong wid ur mum sis???

Im going to be 22 at the end of this month inshAllah. Sister, your concerns are only natural but life and death, health and illness is in the hands of Allah swt. You need to trust in Allah, and that what he decides for you is best for you and deal with it with patience. As sis skye said, take each day at a time... your baby will grow and develop before your eyes and you should cherish this time you have with him. Plus you need to be healthy for him....so that your strong enough to take care of him when he's out of hospital =)
May Allah swt make him the coolness of your eyes and a proper mu'min. Ameen.
