Belly button whoas

Derek has been having pain in his belly button area for the last few weeks, last week he went to the doctors to see if they could figure out what the problem could be. After having blood work done and some xrays, we went home and waited for the results. And of course we heard nothing. The next day Derek called them, and they said they would have a doctor call him back when he read the results. We waited some more, finally the next day Derek went into the office, and waited for a doctor to read the results, well what would you know?! There was a problem on the xray and they feared he might have appendicites. So they told him he needed to rush to the hospital as quickly as he could. We rush down there, and wait, and wait, and wait. Finally they run a CT scan and rule out appendicites, and a hernia, which left them with the question "what is wrong?". A couple surgeons came in and checked him out and felt that the problem was he had a connection from his belly button to his bladder that never went away from when he was born, and felt that he could have surgery to remove it and he would be better. They felt an Urologist would be the best at performing the surgery. So this week we got in to see the urologist, and was told " I dont really see anything that could be the problem, and I dont want to rush into surgery if that wont solve the problem, so keep taking the pain medicine and come back in two weeks, and we will see what we should do then." What a great answer, huh? Thankfully Derek is feeling better, but we have no answer as to why he was in pain to begin with.
