James Medical Update

Just a quick update on James.  As some of you may already know, he has undescended testicles.  Not one, but both of them (lucky boy).  We took him to the urologist this past week.  One of them is still pretty high up and the other is down farther, but still not enough.  And so, he is going to have to have the surgery.  If we don't do it soon, it could lead to infertility, hernias, cancer, and something else?  So 2e set up a date for it, June 12th.  It is an out patient procedure, so we'll be able to bring him home that day.  But on account of it being surgery, he will have to go under anesthesia, which is full of things I don't want think about.  They said recovery should take about 3 weeks, the worst of it being the first week.  So kindly, the nurse told us it would be the hardest week of our life.  Comforting eh?  My poor baby.
K, think that's all I'll post about it.
