How To Treat Pulmonary Edema Despite Using ICD Insertion?

Hi, my name is Deneen Grays-Samuels, I have cardiomyopathy and chf. I was diagnosed in 2003, they call it idiopathic. I had two children naturally, they tell me it had not manifested then. I had a child in 2005 and went in to heart failure. I developed the pulmonary edema. I had an ICD device implanted in 2003, I have a had a second one implanted in 2014, how long can I live with this device. I do not want an echocardiogram because I have been through depression twice in my life since this diagnosis. Will I see my child grow up?
