Uncertainty equals answer to prayer

We went yesterday for our ultrasound appointment. We had this one already scheduled as they were going to do the measurements, but the doctor wanted us to come in to be sure again. Aren't we glad we did. Or course the doctor on Thursday was not there and we had a different technician this time, but we have seen them before so we did know them. As she was putting the goop on me she started looking and kept saying, " hm.." she would cock her head to the side, press down in different directions to try to get the best angles. She said," I heard there were some new developments on Thursday. LEts see what we can see." But then she said,' I dont think that I am seeing what I should be seeing with CDH. First the stomach is down, and in most all cases with LCDH the stomach is up because it drifts from that side." She then stated that this doesn't look like bowel, that she can't really see any true characteristics that that is what it is. She also said that in most CDH the abdomen is small which is because alot of the organs move up into the chest cavity shrinking the abdomen. But she said that Bryson's measurements are perfect and where they should be at this stage. It was baffling me because she was totally not sure what she was even looking at. She said she was going to get the doctor and my husband I looked at each other and said," what now? " what grave information are we going to receive now. Now granted we have been praying for this that in the u/s changes would be made and it would be different result. But when you are actually in that situation all I kept thinking was," um..are you guys serious right now? Do you know what you are looking for? what are your credentials, how long have you been in this field? " I just laid there quitely and praying and when the doctor saw the u/'s he said, " the diaphram looks perfectly intact. There is no opening or tear to indicate that any organs could sift through to the chest. HE pointed out the line of the diaphram and said that he has seen many of these and he is not seeing what he should be if this is a CDH.
He said that he isn't sure if its a CCAM either. Previously they had said that there would be blood flow in the CCAM usually vessels are inside that would indicate blood flow but they dont see anything like that, which is why they assumed it was bowel. His liver, stomach, other organs are down so nothing has else drifted up. So, then what the heck is this? Wouldn't you see some kind of opening in the diaphram on the u/s, or some kind of trail of the bowel etc from the chest to the abdomen? He is sending me for an MRI to see if they can see more definititively what this could be. i am praying that even when they see the MRI that there will be nothing there. PTL! I am choosing to believe that God has definitely stepped in and changed this around, whether he has sealed the opening and pulled down the bowel or whatever the case I believe that a miracle has taken place. I can't think rationally and my human nature must step back to allow this to happen. I have many prayers going out for my little one Bryson and thank you for the people who I have met on here that is also praying for me. We go on Tuesday 8/30 for another u/s and then 9/1 we go for our MRI. Lord please hear our prayers as they go out to you and we thank you for giving us such a good report today!
