House would know what's up

Dr. Max here.

I have decided to call in another specialist who might be able to tell us what is wrong with HAL. His name is House and he thinks everybody lies. He's entertaining.


Surely, he will know what to do with HAL and he can even do it under an hour and not in 5 weeks like other local doctors.

Today Aunt Anne got in the nurse practioners face (not really) and asked "Why is my baby here?!" The nurse said they didn't really know why he is either. HMMMM. So Hal is too sick for Utah Valley but not sick enough for Primary's? Frustrating.

Hal had a visit today from the Physical Therapist as well as the Occupational Therapist. They decided that he looked "normal". Interesting. Aunt Anne is amused that her son pees and poops on all the nurses. It's like he is sick of being there as well and is tired of being in holding pattern.

They did take an x-ray of his trachea and it looked like it was a little bit bent or crooked. Could this be the answer to all the breathing problems? Is it possible the other doctors missed this? They are going to do another x-ray and compare it with the ones that he has already had to double check. Thanks to wiki you can all know more than maybe the doctors about the anatomy of the trachea.

Other than that HAL is just laying around waiting to find out how to get better.

MD out.

The shower was great I wasn't invited either I just showed up !
Maybe the reason House can solve the difficult medical issues is because he is constanley popping Percacet.

Anne I just want you to know that yours is the only blog I check since we've been here. It's too much of a pain to check them all without my google reader, and your news is the most important! Anyway it's funny because I started reading this post and I was like, this sounds a lot like Heather's voice.... and sure enough it was. Is it sad that I am starting to memorize how people sound when they blog? I would like to call this "blogvoice" ...what do you think?

Thanks for the updates!!

Now maybe I can ask a question. When the other doctor said that "something" wasn't right, was it based on his intuition, or was it because of an actual reason?

You'd think if a doctor (wait, TWO doctors) ordered medical tests on a handsome, sweet little preemie, with NO diagnosis.... they'd get shiznit done! I am so horrified that at a CHILDRENs hospital, they swept him away and left Anne crying by herself, and that it's taking them this long to be proactive about someone so tiny.

I really hope that it was intuition, and that he was wrong, and that they send little shorty home with his mama and daddy soon! It's about dang time!

I guess as they always say - baby steps. Literally and figuratively (sp).
Hang in there Anne!!
