No changes from the last visit at U of M. Things are still in the same place with heart to the right, stomach, intestines, liver and gallbladder up. I was so worried after the last visit. But the more I talk to people on here, the less worried I have become.

Each baby is so different (I have to admit, I didn't really listen when everyone first told me this). As I read all the different stories and outcomes, you can not go on what has happened to our other Cherubs. There are ...
