Should I be worried that 2 doctors at our military hospital and 3 doctors at Seattle Children's Hospital didn't catch the two NEW disorders that our "second opinion" doctor (in Utah) told us about on Friday???? Seriously?! So the phone call I was waiting for anticipating some treatment options ended in a diagnosis of Spina Bifoda Occulta and a tethered spinal cord...which means he can't treat Zac for the scoliosis until the cord is untethered!!!! THAT IS SURGERY:( Jeff won't even talk to me about this because he refuses to get upset about a prognosis that doctors can't agree on. After our tumor scare, I understand but....so back to "square one"...asking our specialists to REVIEW the MRI/X-Rays to confirm...or deny (I hope) this new diagnosis! What sucks is that if the new Doc is wrong...do I want him to treat Zac??? His reputation is amazing....okay, one day at a time. Put in a telephone consult to Seattle; average time to hear back is 2 weeks. LOVELY. In the meantime we have an appointment on 26 Oct for genetics testing another X-Ray. Am so sad and frustrated! If Zac has this tethered cord, he will start manifesting symptoms with the next few growth spurts. Not sure how docs determine when surgery is "appropriate". I know one thing, this patience God is giving me WILL NOT last if my baby is in pain!
