Baby diagnosed with multiple (five) VSDs. Anyone else have a similar experience to share?

My doctor heard a heart murmur on my baby that did not go away after a week so referred her to a Pediatric cardiologist. At 3.5 weeks old she saw the cardiologist and had an echo which revealed that she had five small VSDs. He said that four of them are very tiny and one is small and they all measure under 1mm. He said they have a 95% chance of closing on their own and we don’t see him again until she is 1 year old.
I want to be hopeful that she will continue to be well and asymptomatic and that these VSDs will not affect her in her lifetime but I can’t help but worry. I felt so in shock hearing she has five VSDs.
Has anyone else’s baby been diagnosed with multiple VSDs? What was the outcome?
