Surgeries.
Because that is what is in store for poor little Sh.awn. Seems that the simple little office procedure I was promised is no longer on the table.* Great.
No hurry, of course. Whenever we can work it into our schedules will be fine.
That means another intubation, another round of sedation, another trip to the hospital, and another fucking surgery.
The urologist's office will call at the start of the year to schedule us in for January. Supposedly it will be a single day procedure without an overnight stay. Blah, blah, blah...
I feel defeated again.
Sigh.
*We were told that the excess fluid would be drained via needle if it hadn't gone down by his first birthday. Now, after his examination, it looks as if there is excess tissue creating the fluid, and it wouldn't matter how often we drained it, it would keep returning. So, the only option is to surgically remove the tissue. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

ETA I had forgotten the best part of the whole excursion. It seems that I started my period (in a bad kind of way) a full 10 days early, which definitely means there is no Christmas surprise on a pee stick waiting for me. Plus, I left a little present on my new LEATHER car seats. Thankfully, I managed to get it up, but still.

Good hell it's time you caught a friggin' break woman.
Seriously. could you just catch ONE break.
ok, back to thinking about Shawn crawling and feeding himself. good thoughts. positive energy.
{{{HUGS}}} I'm sorry hun...
Wishing a fast recovery! AF has a sweet way of crawling in, hasn't she?
ICLW Trippin'!
(HUGS) No matter how routine surgery is, it is always a scary time for all involved.
Damn you Aunt Flow, damn you!
I am so damned sorry Stacie...about the surgery Shawn needs and the return of the horrid evil hag. Lots of {{{{{hugs}}}}} and prayers dear lady.
Ugh...Jacen had the fluid as well, but it went away about 6 months ago. I hope you guys feel better! And of course that at least this new procedure will be as simple as possible and everything will go smoothly. But YAY on the crawling :D
Happy Holidays!! We're going on a 10 hour car trip to PA to see Matt's family, so I'm hoping that we survive the journey and that the babies don't get sick with something. That's such a drag.
Here's a question...want be TTC buddies? We are trying again as well, beginning this month (BFN). If so, just send me an e-mail...jmadeira@indiana.edu :D
Love,
Jody and the boys
Goodness gracious, what a rough time! I'm sorry you're having to deal with the surgery and AF on top of it all. ((hugs))
ICLW
Ah. I am so sorry your lil one needs yet another op....
As for the period- I had a miracle *spontaneous* egg pop a week ago- my first since having the bubs and got my period a couple of days ago. Luteal phase = pointless.
Sigh..

it must be really tough for a kid to go through so much at such an early age. i hope that this new procedure solves the problem and that he can grow up with little recollection of this time.
sorry you got your period that early.
ICLW
so sorry about the surgery - that must be so frustrating. And I have to agree AF is insulting. Since it is 10 days early, could it be implantation bleeding - possible, at all??? Just trying to hold out some hope! Thinking of you. meme
I'm so sorry that this is your last resort to solving Shawn's issue. I am nervous my Comedian is going to need eye surgery. Eeeekkk! She is wearing a patch right now and doing ok, but we'll see.
I'll definately check back and find out how things are going.
ILCW
Oh I am sorry that sucks. Poor guy. I will be keeping him and you in my thoughts and prayers.
sending you a hug from across the country!!! wishing you a peaceful holiday season, with only happiness ahead.
I'm sorry he needs yet another surgery. At least they're saying no hospital stay.
As always, it will be worse on you than on him. Um, at least our kids will have interesting baby books? Yeah, no consolation here, either.
Over from iclw
Poor little guy. I hope all goes well and double ughhh about the period!
HUGS! I will keep him in my thoughts in prayers.
ICLW
Sorry to hear Shawn needs surgery.I will pray for him and you too Stacie.Sorry the witch arrived too.(hugs)
You are doing an amazing job with your sons = they can beat the odds because of your tenacity , strength and encouragement their determination.
Here from ICLW...No. 88
My Little Drummer Boys
