We met with a pediatric urologist this week to find out how to fix Henry's hydrocele (minor problem affecting his little man parts) and they decided that he needed to have it fixed with surgery. It is a minor surgery that will only take 1/2 of a day and he will be put out for it so he won't even know what is happening. We will bring him home that night and keep him drugged up so he will love that he can watch TV all day in our bed...bring on The Mickey Mouse Club! We really like the surgeon and she answered all of our questions so well that we are going into this feeling really confident and calm. They suture him up with dissolvable stitches and cover it with a glue that will allow him to bathe, which is another one of his favorite things, so it sounds like other than a little grogginess and soreness he will resume his usual fun and crazy life within a day or two. His surgery is set for April 5th and it turns out my Mom and Dad will be here visiting anyhow so the extra support and home cooked meals by my Mom will be great!
Below is my new favorite video of Bill and Henry. They are singing together and I smile the whole time when I watch it! I also put up a picture of Halle taking care of Henry the other day when he was resting. That girl is so incredibly sweet and she was so concerned with Henry's coughing (little cold bug) that she even got him a glass of water and read him a book! It made me think how lucky Henry is to have a best friend like that at his age!
