Another Surgery Today
posted on 04/03/2009
Today will be Mikey's third surgery. For some reason, I'm much clamer for this one than I've been in the past. I don't know why . . . maybe it's because this should be the last major one. Of course, all surgery is major, but the next one should be dealing with an undescended testical only, so that should be a piece of cake compared to what we've been through and are about to go through.
In today's surgery the doctor will move the urethra to its proper positioin and close up his penis (currently butterflied). In addition, he'll repair what we think is a hernia. I'm hoping there will be no skin grafts this time, but it's certainly a possibility. If that is done, then it will be an overnight stay (or two) instead of day surgery. We packed a suitcase for Vince just in case. We're starting to get superstiticious on that front - every time we pack a bag there's no overnight stay, but if we don't pack one there is. ;)
The good news is that the procedure will be done at the Children's Legacy location in Plano, which is MUCH closer to our house.
So, if you're reading this today, please send well wishes and prayers our way. Send them towards Mikey and for his doctors to have sharp minds and skilled hands.
I'll post later to let you know how everything went.
