He needs surgery. =(

katsblaze · July 2011

So yesterday's appt. with Christian was tough for me. I don't know what came over me, but when the doctor looked at me and said, I think we should schedule him for surgery, I got all teary eyed. He was not able to find his testicle, but where he felt it last November, he thinks he may either be underdeveloped up in his stomach or one of the tubes (sorry don't remember the correct terminology). So it is best to go in so that when he is older, he will not end up with infections amongst other things.

Ugh, so he will be having surgery probably some time in Sept or Oct. When DH woke up before work, I told him and lost it. I cried like a baby for about 20 minutes. I know it is a minor surgery, but the thought of one of my boys being put under (at so young), and then have that area cut up some, makes me upset.

Anyhow, that is the outcome and I will be glad when all of this is over.

Aw, it'll be okay! It sounds like he's in good hands, that they're going to fix a problem that might have cause him trouble later.

Oh Kathy, ((big hugs))...it is totally understandable that you are upset...it just means that you are an awesome mom. You know he'll be okay, but that doesn't make it any less stressful or scary for you! Just remember, at least taking care of it now means he won't yet really understand what is going on, so it will be less stressful and scary for him...

Ditto everything blender said. I'm sorry this has to happen, but it's better to get it fixed now when there isn't an issue. ((hugs))

Aww sorry to hear that! It'll be OK, at least you're more stressed about it than the little guy himself. Vibes that it all works out well!

JaneGold · July 2011

Don't worry, he'll be just fine! I totally get why you'd be upset though - hugs!

snoopy3319 · July 2011

It sounds like this might be somewhat of a normal, routine surgery, so try not to worry too much. I totally understand your fears, though, and it just means you're an awesome momma. Vibes for a quick recovery for little Christian.

abarber340 · July 2011

I can completely understand why you're upset. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all. In then end I'm sure that everything will work out for the best and he will be healthier down the road. ((hugs))

futuremrsofficer · July 2011

I get it. I'd be freaking out and really upset too. Surgery is scary, even for adults, and when it's your child, it must be so much worse. It sounds like the doctor has a good plan and is giving him a healthier future by doing the surgery. We'll be thinking of you, please let us know when it's scheduled so we can all send good thoughts your way.

LesPaul · July 2011

Aww, {{hugs}} to you, kats. He'll be fine - good to get this taken care of while he's little and won't remember it. T&P to you and your family.

NeptoonGrl1 · July 2011

Awwww, lots of hugs headed your way. I'm sorry to hear he needs the surgery, but at least he will get it out of the way and avoid future complications.

rebaann · July 2011

Oh, I'm so sorry that your LO needs surgery. I know it must be scary but his doctors will take great care of him and it will be so much better to take care of it now while he's still little.

Auguri · July 2011

I'm sorry, I know I would be scared too, but I'm sure it is fairly routine and nothing to worry about. They will take care of him and it will be so much better at this young age than later on. It will be okay! Hugs!

starsailorr26 · July 2011

I'm sorry Kats. I can't imagine how scary it must be to know he will be put under. If it has to happen, at least it is better now than later. Let us know when the surgery is scheduled.

Ciaram22 · July 2011

Aw I'm so sorry. Poor little guy. I know the feeling. Edmund is scheduled for his first surgery in September. It is very nerve wracking and just makes me end up freaking out at times. Christian will be fine. You just have to try and look at all the positive behind all of it. Hang in there.

karimychel · July 2011

I'm sorry Kathy. I know you didn't want to hear that surgery was the answer. Sound like a fairly routine procedure and he's so young he won't even remember it.

Bailey17 · July 2011

I'm so sorry Kat! ::Hugs::

I'm sure the surgery will go great and he'll be better off for it. Hang in there.

rxbeth · July 2011

I'm sorry he needs surgery but ditto what all the other ladies have said.

stephkay · July 2011

Just want to say I'm keeping you in my thoughts. I know it has to be rough as a Mom, but it sounds like the docs have a good plan. He's lucky to have a Momma that cares about him so much

He needs surgery. =(
