can you help

Okay my little man, 4 years old has a lengthy cardiac history. to make a VERY LONG HISTORY short he has asthma and he has pulmonary stenosis and shunting at times in his little heart. Cree Cree turns blue in the tub, just sitting htere and whatever. it is not all of the times he does this. we have seen 2 pullmonolgist, yesterday we saw one. he doesn't feel that asthma is doing this to him that it is the stenosis and shunting. he has many other issues.
my questions are does any one know how they fix the shunting and stenosis.
thank you
Michelle

I remember some of your posts. I don't have any answers because this is way out of my experience. But I want you to know I feel for you. I've had some nasty asthma episodes but never turned blue with them. I also have Raynauds but only my hands and feet turn gray and they feel icy cold all the time.  Has he seen a rheumatologist?

I hope you find out something soon. My youngest son has never had heart problems but he used to turn very blue around the mouth any time he got chilled in the least bit. My kids loved to play outside in the sprinkler but that's cool water. I kept insisting he take a break and warm up. Yeah, that made me real popular LOL He's fine now (age 24) but again, he doesn't have the same history. Give your little guy a hug.
