X-RAY RESULTS

The doctor got the x-ray results. Witt's lungs are a little wetter but not a significant change. Still trying to figure out exactly what is going on. His breathing is a little better. His pulmonary doctor (Ruiz) has been called and the doctor is also getting in touch with the surgery team as well as Witt's cardiologist. The pain in his abdomen could be the main cause of all of this but since Witt has both lung and heart issues they have to be careful. The doctor has asked his nurse to check on him frequently and make a thorough assessment...they don't want to miss any change in his condition. Melanie's "beware of Mom" reputation is spreading! She questions everything the doctors do which I completely support. Every time Witt is seen by a new doctor, they want to run all the same tests and x-rays. Melanie would rather them not "reinvent the wheel" and start all over each time there is a new doctor. One of the great things about being at Texas Children's is that all Witt's doctors(even the pediatrician) are a part of the system and can view all his records, test results, etc. When I think about Witt, Austan and Melanie, I think it's all the perfect match. God needed parents for Witt that wouldn't accept the status quo...parents that would be a real advocate. Witt is different, his condition is very rare. God continues to strengthen them so they are up for the task...which sometimes means questioning even some of the best doctors!
