Pickle had surgery to correct his birth defect, a hypospadias, in layman's terms he had two urethra holes. So they had to close one up and move the other to the appropriate position. He was also attached too far down on his scrotum. So basically he had a total reconstruction of penis and scrotum. It was about a 2 1/2 hr surgery. And he's had a catheter in for the last week and a half. Veronica saw it during one diaper change and told me that he had a sucker stuck in his butt. Yep that is what it looks like. A dum dum sucker.
So the first week we had a lot of swelling and pain and bladder spasms. We just finished the tylenol-3 script and still need to use the meds for bladder spasms and the antibiotics. He isnt too fond of the meds so we've been sneaking them into bottles. Tomorrow he is supposed to have the cath taken out as long as everything is healed.
There is a possiblity of one more surgery depending on how this one heals and how he urinates, but for now we are done.
