i am glad to see your update.

i hate that he has to go through this again but at least he is young and will most likely not remember.

i wish i knew why owen's doctor is not concerned about his at all. his words yesterday were that he just has a bit of extra foreskin and he will continue to grow into it. poor kid and his elephant trunk.

what are they doing just snipping back a little more skin?

Its going to hurt you worse than him!

Okay, maybe not really, but, it wont be so bad.

I wonder if maybe Rhys had too much taken off... lol. Its itty bitty.

Poor guy. At least they finally made the decision now instead of in a few more years.

I hope they can get it done soon for you.

thanks everyone.

the scheduler is supposed to call me tomorrow morning. i'll post an update when i know more.

sara, he told me that they push back on the fatty pad around the penis and see how the skin pulls back. based on the fact that (in his opinion) jake has very little baby fat left and not much fatty pad left, yet the foreskin doesn't pull back from the tip of the penis, that there is too much skin left.

i'm really worried about him not looking different from everyone else (not circ'd and not uncirc'd) so i just want to get it done and over with.

i'm worried about him healing b/c he's potty trained - i mean i hope he's not reluctant to go b/c of the wound. i may have to hve him in a pull-up for a few days i guess.

and with how stubborn he is, i'm going to do EVERYTHING i can to get him a first thing in the morning surgery appt - i cannot imagine holding him back from milk and food in the morning!

i'll update tomorrow after i hear from the surgery scheduler and lyk when we're scheduled.

I hope the whole thing isn't too stressful, April. poor little guy.

i hope they get you a first thing in the morning appointment. it isn't an emergency is it? you should be able to wait for a good appointment if so, right?

yeah, that's what i'm hoping.  i'll probably call them after the gym if they haven't already called here.  i just want to get in this month so he can recover before we go back to our school schedule.

 

Hey April!  I haven't been around much so am just now trying to get updated on the happenings around here.  I had no idea that you were going thru these issues w/Jake.  However, just so you know we did not have David circumcised until he was 13 months old, and at the time he also required the general anesthesia.  Just wanted to offer hugs.  He will surely not remember this and although he will go thru some discomfort, he will recover quickily and never remember this.

((Hugs))

I'm sorry you have to go through this.  Keep us posted (((hugs))).

Oh no, poor Jake! It if helps April, we do these at the surgery center I work at all the time. The kiddos do great! (The adults not so much!). Let me know if you have questions or if I can help in any way.

this got bumped and it reminded me to update...

we're scheduled for sept 3rd.  it sucks b/c i'm already back to work, but it's a work day (no students), so it's manageable.  plus, i am off the friday and monday after that for labor day so lots of time for him to heal.

they have us on the wait list for august 24th in case of a cancellation.  i'll keep my fingers crossed for that.
