DS 1 (20 months) is having surgery today at 2pm. He was born with hypospadias and this is his 3rd surgery as he keeps having recurrent fistulas (holes). We have a new surgeon so we are very hopeful this will be the last surgery. It’s just always scary signing a waiver before your child has general anesthesia.
Any prayers or positive vibes you could send our way are much appreciated!!!

Good luck with everything! DD2 and 3 have each had surgery once, and despite them being SUPER minor, it was still nerve wracking. Hugs, thinking of you!

Sorry it’s taken me awhile to update. It has been a very very hard evening. Beckett is okay but what the surgeon had to do was the worst case scenario. He had a 40 degree curvature of his penis. In order to correct this, he needed a graft. They took a large chunk of tissue from inside his mouth/lower lip. His mouth looks horrific and he has been pretty inconsolable since waking from surgery around 5. He will need hyperbaric oxygen treatments to help the graft take. In order to have these, he will need tubes put in his ears ASAP. The treatment centers are 40 minutes away and he needs to go mon-fri for 20 sessions, 1.5 hours each session. It is going to be a rough recovery process. He will then need a second surgery in 6 months to finish rebuilding the urinary channel. We are quite emotional and overwhelmed but glad we are doing what is necessary to fix this for good. Silver lining - his penis grew over 1 cm today from being straightened!  |
