Surgery and Shopping

I took Ian to his long awaited urologist appointment. The doctor and resident both said that Ian does need surgery for his hypospadias. They said it would become a problem when I tried to potty train him (because he would have great difficulty aiming accurately), and it could also cause infertility. Although it's really strange to be thinking about infertility in reference to a 7 month old, after what we've been through, I certainly don't want to stand in the way of helping prevent that! They said it will be an outpatient surgery that will take 60-90 minutes. They will circumcise him and use the skin in the reconstruction process. He'll be given liquid codeine afterward and have a catheter stitched to him for 1-2 weeks. Poor guy. I am not looking forward to it, but I'm glad he'll be too young to remember it.

On the way back to Sarah's I stopped at Walmart and picked up a few other items and then picked up Nadia. She had been at Sarah's for 4 hours (slept 2 of those), and she was NOT happy to see me. She didn't want to leave! She enjoyed playing with the other girls, especially Abby (age 4). Unfortunately she had two accidents yesterday. She did break her previous record of 56 hours by going 91 hours without having an accident. Hopefully that record will be broken this week!
