A further update with Dr Chan

Of course not the same Dr Chan as Julie had an update with this morning, but one of the other Dr Chan's we've dealt with in this last few weeks - no joke, we now have 5 Dr Chan's looking after young Will (I may have already mentioned this - sorry getting old) - and amusingly my Dr way back in my childhood days in the depths of Cobar (look it up on a map - a long way from anywhere) was Dr Chan? Anyway, Dr Chan the pediatrician (as opposed to Dr Chan the Pediatric Surgeon Julie) gave us an update on Will post the ultrasound this morning. The good news. The ultrasound shows the Kidneys and Bladder to be just fine so. Absolutely no sign of a leak or a weakness in either. Some questions we asked: Was there still fluid in the tummy? The answer - 'we didn't ask for them to test for that, but on looking at the results of the scan we believe there is still some fluid left' Was the cyst (identified in the earlier scan) still there? The answer - 'we didn't ask for them to look at that, however, there was no mention of it in the report'. Not sure about that one. For some reason I thought that the reason for the test was to answer those two questions. hmmm. So then we asked Dr Chan (pediatrician) about the procedure that was happening on Thursday to get his view. A slightly different story appeared. Basically, he said that unless they identified a potential problem they would a) not do any further surgery; b) not replace the cathetor. That would be just great. We asked specifically about the seemingly different advice we'd been given, and he was quite adament that, unless they could cleary identify a problem they wouldn't do further surgery. A great reminder that the only consistancy we can truly rely on in this world is from God. Maybe - just maybe - there is some chance of the home by Julies Birthday miracle still occurring. I keep praying, I keep hoping that through some strange stroke of chance my plans and Gods are the same. God can do what only God can do. I then asked him to further clarify the theory of the cathetor 'fixing' or 'masking' the problem (Godly husband rubbing it in - I even got to say "oohhh aahhhh" and pump my fists) . PS..... Just FYI, my "Hole in the Lung" theory is this. When a baby gets to about 16 weeks the amniotic fluid is actually urine (sorry, for all those girls who didn't realise this - a tummy full of wee when your preggars). The baby 'breathes' this fluid (wee) until its born. So my theory is this. Isn't it possible, that one of the potential breaches that has lead to the fluid going from outside to inside the baby is through the lungs? I'm no Doctor (as most of you would have realised by now) but kind of sounds logical. Noones ever checked - just can't get good help these days 'eh. Since my Cathetor might fix the problem theory has been justified, perhaps I should raise the lung theory with one of the Dr Chan's (although not sure exactly which one would be best suited to this discussion - perhaps my old home town Doctor as a tester).
