It's finally here! The diagram, with explanations, of Rebekah's heart! :) First, though, a diagram of a "normal" heart to give you a little perspective (thanks to Wikipedia for this easy-to-understand heart diagram!).
Okay, now this is the diagram of Rebekah's heart. If you notice the cute little lacy, scalloped edges around the inside of Rebekah's right ventricle, it's not that way cause she's a cute and frilly little girl. :) Actually, that means the wall of her heart is thickening due to her heart having to work extra hard to push against the high pressure in her pulmonary artery and lungs. And I forgot to explain that the right sub-clavian artery is made of a dashed line because it actually travels behind the aorta and the superior vena cava. We definitely have a beautifully unique little girl!
(If you are having a hard time reading all of my notes, click on the diagram and it should open larger in a new window.)
