Jackson Updates

We finally are getting some answers about Jackson's belly button issue.  Here is the week we've had.

1.  Our pediatrician didn't know what it was so she asked another in office pediatrician.
2.  He didn't know either.
3.  They decided we needed an ultrasound.
4.  Went in the following day for an ultrasound....waited to hear back.
5.  The radiologist called our pediatrician and basically said he didn't know what it was either.
6.  What they do concur on is that the bulb is not the scary intestinal problem we feared...GOOD.
7.  They do know it is not an umbilical hernia...GOOD
8.  The pediatrician was still unclear as to what it was since the ultrasound did show a 2 millimeter defect on the inside.
9.  Our pediatrician sent the results to a pediatric surgeon in Greenville.
10. Finally today we hear that the surgeon also believes this is nothing and the defect will resolve itself.  If anything, we may have to do a cosmetic repair when Jackson is older if we don't like the way it looks.

Anyone else tired?

We are so thankful that this is not a serious issue.  If we can just clear up his diaper rash, we'd be good to go!
