Tomorrow , Tuesday, 6am Hong Kong time, will be the fourth time Will’s catheter will be removed. We are praying that the past few days of bladder control training has paid off and Will has a strong, steady, straw-coloured stream! Wanting to be prepared, I asked the nurse what was the next step if he was still ‘dribbling” and she just smiled. Quizzically I asked again and she told me the doctor thinks that this will work and we won’t need to do anything else. Although I am not getting my hopes up it is the first time this doctor hasn’t covered all his bases and kept his cards close to his chest (can I use any more metaphors?). Maybe she wasn’t supposed to let his optimism slip!
I took some lovely photos today. Will’s face is getting chubby, in my opinion, and his ears are also a little fatter. “Fat ears?” I hear you say. Fat in that they are no longer at one with his skull. However, as Harry is not home you will have to wait for the photos and for tomorrow’s good news. I won’t say bad news as even if we don’t get good news tomorrow there will come a day when we will, it just means waiting a little longer.
I’ll phone Harry at midday tomorrow (after I’ve seen Will) and he will update the blog then. If you’re a blog addict, as several people have confessed to being, then log on then to find out the “stream report”. Again, thanks for your prayers, I look forward to the day when we can joke with a teenage Will and tell him half the world was praying for his bladder and his “stream”!
Love Jules.
