Dissappointment - the Cathetor is back
Well, fair to say Jules and I are a bit dissappointed this morning. After monitoring Will's "stream" last night, they determined that his bladder pretty much isn't working, and the wee was just leaking out. As a result, they've decided to put the cathetor back in. Their plan is to try to "train" the bladder. They will clamp the cathetor for 2 hours, then release it for an hour, then clamp it, etc. Trying to get the bladder used to filling and contracting etc.
This will go until at least Tuesday next week, at which point they'll try to take the Cathetor out again and monitor his progress. If that doesn't work, there is potential that he has damaged his a nerve or his spine or somthing that tells the bladder when to contract and when not to. I pray that this is not the case because I can't get my head around what comes next if that is the case.
So for us it's back to tag teaming at the hospital. Julie's back to pumping rather than breast feeding, and the kids are back to missing out on seeing Will again.
Things just aren't easy are they. God has his plans for us, and we need to learn to live with them and trust in God's goodness for us.

May God keep you strong in the face of disappointment and uncertainty. I keep you guys in my prayers, luv yas all.
We're still praying for you all.
OK, prayers for patience, trusting in God and bladder control - an interesting combination but I'm sure as he's come this far Will will rise to this latest challenge.
