His bladder looks to be working well - coming home tomorrow
His bladder seems to be working well. Unfortunately his nappy (daiper for all you Americans) is not. This afternoon I experienced first hand how well his bladder is working. While nursing (not to be confused with breast feeding) him he decided to prove that the Huggies were no match for his stream. Great news (although I perhaps ended up a tad warmer and wetter than I'd hoped to be). Julie suggested its revenge for the fact that I (apparantly) "refuse" to change his nappy. Complete rubbish of course. Its fair to say I ALWAYS get the bad ones - so not really sure where Jules is coming from.
We also had an update today from the Doctor on the results of the ultrasound he had on Tuesday. In short, everything looks to be fine. No indication of abnormal distention of the bladder, no indication of problems with the spine etc.
There was one slightly concerning result from the ultrasound in that they found some evidence of calcification in the kidneys. They don't seem at all worried about that, and have suggested that he needs a further ultrasound in 2 or 3 months to see how its going.
So tomorrow he comes home. I was planning to go with Jules to the hospital for the big day, however, they are yet to make their minds up as to what time they will finish writing the "discharge" report (nothing to do with the stream I'm told). So Jules will get that joy on her own (I will particularly miss the bit where you line up for hours to pay the bill).
We are overjoyed with thanks to God for his great blessing to us. It is now becoming something of a blur as to what happened. The concerns and stresses of just a few weeks ago are now completely gone. God is great indeed. Things haven't necessarily gone as planned (and even now I'm feeling just a tad enthusiastic about Will coming home tomorrow - hoping that this time I manage to line up with God's timing), but we have learnt a lot about trusting God - in particular that sometimes (perhaps often) we have to trust that Gods plans for us are better than our own. A hard lesson indeed.
More on this tomorrow - all going well, one of our last posts to this blog.

Wonderful news! I will miss the regular contact that the blog provided. I feel like I've 'spoken' to you both every day for the past few weeks. We're so thankful to God for His kindness to you. We'll be praying for your family as you settle into life with a newborn at home.
All our love

Just wonderful news, praise God. Just brilliant.
God is SO good, thank you Lord. Fantastic news, and although I will miss the updates, it is just wonderful that Will can be home with his family and go from strength to strength.

It has been wonderful following Will's journey and inspiring to
see your faith grow and strengthen. I'm quite besotted with Will.
Julie, your photographs are beautiful, I'm sure you could sell
them to a greeting card company.
You have an amazing group of friends worldwide.
May God continue to bless you all
