Three month follow up visit

We believe we have a well trained pediatric specialist. He referred to his days at the Mayo Clinic many times today. He is concerned but " not worried" that she is still incontinent. He did an ultrasound on bladder and kidneys and all looked well. Cori is now on a new antibiotic to rule our urinary tract infection for the incontinence. He will re check in 3 months but will do nothing until the 6 month mark. At that point he wants another sedated scope to see if there are any closing muscles below the bladder. If not, he says some do another couple of surgeries that most likely fail. So, they close up the bladder and teach the child to self cath. Vaginal openings are assumed to be only for menstruation.

On this day, this child was all the way up to her best brain, language, and emotional level I have ever seen her. Not one human in the clinic could take their eyes off of her. Not one member of the staff could keep from remarking on her. She pointed to babies and said, " Baby". She pointed to sleeping babies and said, "Night Night. " She pointed to a picture of a pregnant actress in an inane magazine and said, "Belly". She pointed out my keys and pointed outside to the car! At least three times! This is a small portion of what she has done in the last three days.

I am unable to put words to this subject. Yet I know that this story is repeated more times than we can imagine. Little children who have been abandoned.........but all with God given reasons to be here!

I have a vain request. If you are reading this....if you would want to do something about this........would you email me? We have so many hits.....no way to track who, how many. But it seems to have struck a chord. There are so many others this precious.
