Ok, so ya know how there are good surprises and not so good surprises...? And, as a parent, the not so good surprises are the ones that are...what's the word...unwelcome, unnerving, icky? Well, we just had a great conversation with the pediatric surgeon who informed us that Judah has 2 hernias. Huh. Something we should have known from our urologist. Actually, deep down I think I did know that somewhere, but with every other issue Judah faces I really think I missed that somewhere along the line. Woops. The hernias are because of [this gets personal] his undescended testicles. It's somewhat complicated because of Judah's hormone issues, but long story short, he'll need another surgery to correct the testicle/hernia situation. We'll be seeing our urologist in November, so now we're ready with some very specific questions! Not excited about another surgery...but thankful that it's a minor, relatively common procedure. And so thankful for the wonderful surgeons and specialists that God has gifted us with! (Still love the urologist, love the new pediatric surgeon!)
By the way, the surgeon also gave us some pretty cool pictures of Judah's stomach and the hernias:) Modern technology meets modern medicine makes Mom smile!
SO so glad everything went well and you have your sweet boy back in your arms! Vin just had the testicular surgery with two hernia repairs this past Friday...was a breeze...I hear ya on the more surgery thing! I hate the "wheel away" part....
ReplyDeleteHugs to that sweet Judah baby!
