Darla - it sounds like your niece is with a good group of doctors and they must have a good reason for the decisions they make but I agree with Jim - if you have any question about waiting or why, then you should ask the doctors. Just wondering and thinking the worst can be a crazy-maker but if you let them know what you are worried about they are better able to reassure you. It helps to do your own research, too and learn everything you can so that you can feel more in control. Besides, the more you know, the more questions you can ask. There are lots of knowledgeable people here that help you, too. So stay in touch and let us know what's happening.
