Hopefully the genetic test can be done quickly so that treatment can start soon. My younger son also had a heart examination at the university clinic and they told us that early diagnosis is really crucial. I pray for Milana.

I hope that they will do the genetic test as soon as possible, so that they know exactly what to do. Here in Montenegro, we often wait months for things like this, and time is of the essence, as Georg said about his son. Fingers crossed for Milan.

I hope that the genetic analysis can be done soon so that Milana can start treatment without wasting time. My oldest daughter had to wait almost two months for a similar study at the city hospital and the doctor told us that every week counts. I pray for her.

Hopefully the test will be really quick, with something like this every week counts. Your son was in the university hospital? Was that also because of a congenital defect, or was it something else? I also pray for the little one.

Hopefully it goes really quickly, every week really counts. Our son was in the university hospital at the time because of another congenital heart defect, not exactly the same as Milana's, but the doctors also told us that the genetic test was crucial. Thank you for praying, it feels good.

I hope they get the genetic analysis done quickly, every week really counts. An acquaintance of ours in Plovdiv waited almost a month for a similar examination of the child, and the doctor then said that time was critical. I will pray for Milan.
