@bilas I have never heard of dextrocardia with situs inversus. I had to look it up. I read that it is, "A rare congenital condition where the heart points to the right instead of the left, and other major chest and abdominal organs are arranged in a mirror-image reversal." Is that correct? If so, that is unbelievable. That drawing on his tummy had to be confusing. I have a hard enough time understanding my organs, and they are where they are supposed to be. Your surgeon had to perform the Whipple a little differently on your son didn't she/he? Wow. Doing the best that you can is all that you can ask of yourself. You folks have been through a lot. Just try to focus on the moment and take the rest in as it comes.
