I can't quite believe it yet... we've had good news

[emkana]

Dear all,

I feel totally stunned today. I phoned the consultant to ask about the report from the radiologist, and she told me that the radiologist found no abnormalities on the x-rays!
Which obviously is FANTASTIC news... but I don't dare believe them yet! I fear he made a mistake, or overlooked something, or looked for the wrong thing. Don't know whehter to ask for a copy of the report, or even a copy of the x-rays. It just seems waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too good to be true! Esp. in light of all the going-ons last week with the pneumonia and the oxygen-dependence...

I just don't know what to think now!!!

The consultant said we'd still have to look how he grows over time, so it's not 100 % that something might not come up in a few months or even years.

emkana, I completely understand, we are in a similar holding pattern with dh, although our concerns are absolutely nothing like as serious as yours with baby Sebastian. The desire not to believe is a potent force.

When can you see the consultant face to face, to confirm the radiologist's report?

Wow, fab news!
I hope that the stress that you suffered throughout your pg can be easily forgotten.

OMG

I have an appointment with her in three weeks' time.

Seeing my GP tomorrow, do you think I could ask him to request a copy of the report?

I wish dh could have another two weeks' off now, to actually enjoy instead of suffer through, like we have done since ds was born.

Fantastic news

That's great news, emkana! Even if it's not a 100% certainty - these findings are really really positive.

That is wonderful news

OMG OMG OMG OMG

bloody hell!

That's such fantastic news emkana.

I don't see why your gp couldn't get you a copy of the report because it'll be on his notes at some point anyway. A friend of mine's just had an MRI and the gp got her a copy of the report.

Hope everything continues to be so positive for you and baby sebastian.

I'm sure you could request the report.

What fantastic news. Maybe dh can wangle a few days off so that you can all relax a bit?

Yes, your gp might be able to go through it with you properly, once you've had time to take in it.

Fab.

fab news

Groovy name is he a seb, sebbie or sebastian (My son is one of these!) well done that is great news.

Oh how fabulous. Fingers crossed for you.

jellyjelly, he gets called all those, depending on who talks to him/the mood we are in.

Also figured he could be cute as baby = sebbie, then cool as teen = seb, then sophisticated as adult = sebastian.

Huge and thankful collective MN sigh of relief!

so very pleased to hear that news.

WOW!!

That is fantastic news

Thats brilliant so happy for you.
