Hypospadias Surgery

Well, here we are mid 2015. It seems that the last year has gone so fast I didn't even have time to blink! My sweet baby boy is now 16 Months old! Oh, how they change so quickly!

Jaxon has had a bit of a rough start, and nothing that couldn't be chalked up to pure discomfort with lots of poking and prodding they did on the wee fella.

First, we had bad reflux which led to many wet clothes on my part...Our little guy was diagnosed with Hypospadias, which is fairly common, just not widely spoken about. He's case was mild, but would still require surgery. If you look it up you will see it is where the uritha is not in the proper spot. He's was slightly under the tip, but would still be an issue if left unrepaired.


He handled surgery like a champ which took place in December of 2014, but just being stuck in the hospital, follow up appoints etc. he had had enough. He know hates the Doctors with a passion, and we are working on making it an enjoyable experience for the future.

Here he is waiting to go into surgery...

He has also been popping teeth like a real "Chomper" (what we are calling him theses days.) He loves food, which means our grocery bill is about to double, maybe triple!!?

Then in early January, just before he was to start daycare, we got "The Flu" the real deal. I mean terrible, terrible nights. Sleeping all day, no energy to even sit up, the poor boy was just violently ill. Constant vomit and diarrhea. That latest a few weeks, but the cough persisted. So much so that the flu slowly and eventually turned into a nasty cold. Then just as things looked a little more positive for his sake, he got another virus and was vomiting again regularly. Now we are almost in May, and I have to say, maybe now we are seeing the real boy come out of his shell.

I think he has just be so under the weather for so long that he is acting sick most of the time. Yes, we have been to the Dr.s many times this year, and they have tested him for many different things, but there is no real concern at the moment, and they say it is just one illness passing and morphing into another. Starting daycare will do that, they say....
