Found it

We've just spoken to Dr Chan following Will's surgery. His opening remark to us was "he won't be going home on Monday". Its fair to say that we weren't really sure how to take a comment like that. Anyway, after a little further conversation we determined that Will was in fact ok. The prognosis is that they did indeed find evidence of a valve in the Urethra. They used an electrofied cathetor to burn this evidence away. They also analysed the bladder and found evidence of previous trauma, but no evidence of a hole. Given the nature of the operation, Dr Chan wants to keep Will in hospital for 1 more week with a cathetor in to allow the area repaired to recover. On a little further questioning, it would appear that we may be able to take him home next week sometime for further home leave. In terms of longer term, there may be future problems with things like toilet training given the prior damage to the bladder. Given they are unable to completely cut out the valve, there may also be a future requirement to do further work, dependant on how he goes in the next few months / years. The very good news is that, despite some earlier concerns, Will is able to breathe on his own. No need for a ventilator. So I guess we finally have an answer as to what caused the problem. No idea why a valve developed and when, but at least we know what the problem was, perhaps a little peace of mind. Thank God for his goodness to us in providing such highly skilled Doctors in a very high quality hospital to look after Will. We are now looking forward to a speedy recovery, and a permanant trip home. We're now sitting in the elevator well waiting for Will to come out of recovery. They could do with some chairs as the window sills aren't the most comfortable
