Having problems with message search?
I have heard that sometimes children grow out of these things. As your child grows it would be a good idea to continue to have the bubble echocardiograms, to make sure it's closing. At age 18 mine wasn't closed and that's when I had my first stroke. PFO is the leading cause of stroke in teens.
Good luck!
