Q: Anyone's baby also missing the DUCTUS VENOSUS vein?

My Daughter Savannah is missing and umbilical vein called the ductus venosus. This vein is supposed to be take in some of the blood flow coming from the umbilical cord. Since my daughter is missing this vein she has a large amount of blood flow dumping into her heart making her at risk for hydrops/heart failure. She is doing very well and has no sign of heart failure.

I was just wondering if there was any one else on here that is experiencing this or has experienced this in the past. I have no one to relate to in a situation like this.
