Nassau, Bahamas -
In 2010 Antoine and Jessica Burrows
conceived and prepared to have
a baby
.
They were
very
anxious
and happy
to have another child added to their family. On October 21, 2012 they welcomed their darling baby
Rah'nae De'ajah Burrows
into the world.
Tests were carried out to ensure t
hat she was
healthy. Sadly, it was discovered that she had characteristics of
Down
S
yndrome.
This news
is
not often readily
accepted by
many
new parents; but this couple loved their baby
nonetheless
and saw her as a special gift from God. B
ecause of the existence of such
characteristics
,
concerns arose about the possibility that she may also have heart
disease. After a week in the hospital it was discovered by an
echocardiogram that she had
a large
Primum Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
, which is a hole in the heart
. She was then referred to Dr
.

Pediatric Heart Clinic, at Princess Margaret Hospital...
