Surgery

Warning: Don't read any further if you shy away from the word "testicle"

Daniel had his 4 year check-up on Friday. Almost everything was great. He screamed like a banshee during the immunizations but other than that he was a trooper. We did however come across two serious issues. He has blood in his urine and his testicles are no longer in the correct spot (meaning they are in his abdomen). We had two ultrasounds yesterday, one for the bladder and kidneys and the other for the testicles. Verdict: his kidneys and bladder all look great. The blood issue is most likely an infection, we are still awaiting lab results to confirm. His testicles on the other hand have retracted and require surgery for both to put them back in the correct spot or it will make him infertile. Jaxon already had one of his put in the correct spot, now Daniel's have just sucked back up into his abdomen when he has always been perfectly fine before. Go figure! And I was told girl's have more problems than boys! No way. I have three sons and so far we have required surgery 50% of the time in this area!

I guess it just gives me more material for Daniel's future embarassment. Poor kid!
