My 3-year-old son had an echocardiogram, and the results indicated he might have an aortopulmonary collateral shunt or a fistula from the left main coronary artery to the right pulmonary artery. What does this mean, how serious is it, and how can it be fixed if needed?

My 6-year-old daughter frequently urinates on herself, weighs only 32 pounds, and has clear urine. She has tried nose spray and Tofranil, but the issue persists. Her doctor suspects a rare type of diabetes. What could be the cause and what further steps should be taken?

I am 39 years old and trying to become pregnant again. My last period began on September 30, 2006, and I expected my next period on October 28. I spotted on 10/26 and 10/27, but my period did not start. I took a pregnancy test on 10/30, which was negative. I had a D & C for a missed abortion on 8/8/06, and this would only have been my second 'normal' period after the procedure. My breasts are tender, and I'm emotional, but I'm unsure if this is due to pregnancy, an impending period, or stress. If the pregnancy test was negative, why haven't I started my period? If I am pregnant, why was the test negative?
