Just looking to see if the little brother is comming down!
Feb 2nd 2000
Michelle Valerie is at home, happy and singing again. The surgery has been
so far be successfull.
There was a lot of doubts.... was it possible to do it? and what kind of
probability to be rid of reflux.
The reflux was severe but there was some malformations in the system too.
They call it mega-urether and mega-bladder.
But this ones are not important in the real live, they were important in the proceeding
for the surgery. Instead Prof Bianchi said it was a good surgery field and the injection
of "Macroplastique" was well placed. So at the end, the opening of the
urether in the bladder looked "good" and well formed.
So ends two long years of waiting and worrying for us parents.
Now let see in three months the first results, we hope to discover that the reflux has
stopped or it is in lower degree. From now on, we can count up to three endoscopic surgery
before need to go on chirurgical.
Lot of hope !

The Small Alain Charles Guillaume just learn to seat himself from lying. He's still walking helped by his Mom (backache). Today one hand is enough too steady him. Michelle Valerie is in the NO period, and I think that the thing of the surgery is tormenting her a little too. Renče Claire is groing up like a pretty little girl.
We're hoping that the logistic we have though will help all think go
smooth. I will stay all night in the hospital, in the afternoon, at 2 Pm, Renata
will gave me releave till 8 PM. So I will see the others child a little.
We don't know how much Michelle Valerie will stay in the hospital, but only after the
surgery. The surgeon will start as a endoscopic surgery. If the endoscopic is not possible
( quite so ) he will proceed with more anesthetics and perfom a "hard" surgery.
In the first case two day will be enough, but in the other we espect 15 days.
If I spare some time when the surgery is done I will post there.

Just looking to see if the little brother is comming down!
At last ! the flu-es ended. We are all out of bed now, and waiting the little one to emerge from his mama's big belly. new pictures too. Renee Claire is doing well at school, Michelle Valerie is walking, running and speaking full throttle! We need some rest, the flu and the children have drained the parents resource. So I came back at work (after 15 days at home) with temprature and a very sore throat, Renata is sailing ahead slowly, slowly.

girl ... let it be ! We are all happy anyhow and wait for him to come in the first decade
