Small advance on the theory

We spoke briefly with the senior surgeon again this morning while up visiting Will. They are still waiting for the tests to be conducted, but they gave us a few minor updates. They have re-done the catheter. This is apparantly very hard as he as a) small, and b) swollen. The good news is that he has now started passing urine again. The theory is still that the fluid is urine, and that it was caused by some blockage. To be determined of course on the test results. If it is urine, and he is passing urine, then no invasive surgery will be required. They will simply let him continue to process the waste himself. They don't want to remove any more of the fluid to reduce the risk of infection. So kind of good so far. A brief update on Jules while I'm typing. There now seems to be some question as to whether or not she'll come home today. They have now suggested it is our choice. We tried to determine what factors we would take into account, but it was just a little tough. Really the first language barrier we've had the whole time we've been in Queen Mary. In the end we elected to have Julie come home today, only to find out that this was actually based on the Doctors discretion anyway. We'll see. Today's picture of Will attached. I have a brief video for you, but cannot work out how to post that here, so will have to update it on a homepage of some sort, then attach a link. Later
