At this morning's 3:30 call, Carolyn asked all the questions I forgot to last night. Max's head circumference remained stable at 35 cm. He is tolerating his feeds well, despite the vitamin supplement. And, even though I swore off further poop journal entries, he had a full-sized load in his 8:30 PM diaper last night.
Given that he hasn't had another bout of GI freakout, even lacking Dr. P.'s journal articles, I think the prospect that Max has Hirschsprung's Disease has to be diminishing. Although perhaps Max has ultra-short Hirschsprung's? Which raises the question: Ultrashort Hirschsprung's: myth or reality?

Max was born in October 2008 at Georgetown University Hospital. After more than four months at GUH, Max moved to the HSC Pediatric Center in March 2009. He came home six months after he was born, in April 2009.
