Today is the 29th day Rory will be in the NICU, or as I like to call it, the start of Week 5. This week promises to be filled with answers. Of course, each week prior has also promised answers, but everybody knows Weeks 1-4 are dirty liars.
Just waiting for the Pathologist to finalize her report, provide it to the doctors, and then have them tell us about it. Preliminary results suggested that Rory does not have ultrashort Hirschsprung's disease, but she could still perhaps have an even rarer form of Hirschsprung's disease. We're three tiers deep on the 'Rare' scale, so things aren't going so good. Hirschsprung's disease is rare. Ultrashort Hirschsprung's disease is rarER. This next one is rarEST? If I ever see Dr. Herald Hirschsprung on the street, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind (but that probably won't happen since he died in 1916).
So, we're still waiting to hear about the other things too. Meanwhile, other than all the tubes sticking out of her, Rory gives no hint that she's sick, uncomfortable, or that she has any issues at all.
