Has anybody had a baby born with “Hydrops”?
My son was born with a hole in his thoracic duct which leaked lymphatic fluid throughout his chest area. There was so much fluid that the pressure collapsed his left lung, compressed his heart and liver. When he was born the docs said that there were 3 other babies born with the same thing and they all died! He pulled through OK. He now has epilepsy and autism though. He is 2 years old. I was wondering if anyone knew how this could affect him later in life and if anyone had any ideas what caused it. The docs didn’t really know what to tell us. My wife and son do have different blood types, but the doctors said that is not what caused it.
