Urologist

Kenton had an appointment with the urologist to discuss his circumcision this morning. When Kenton was born, his foreskin had not grown completely over his penis.  Because of this, we were not able to have him circumcised and were told we had to wait and go see a urologist.  Well, today was the day.

Without getting into too much detail for his sake when he's older and possibly reading this (You're welcome in advance!), everything looks perfect.  The doctor went over what could be some possible health concerns with his condition, but he checked out perfect.  As Aaron said, his body likes to act like something is wrong, but always checks out okay.  Praise God!

The urologist said that he will perform the surgery when Kenton is around 8 months old, which puts it in December.  Kenton will have to be put under and the procedure will take around 45 minutes.  He will have some stitches, but the recovery will be similar to a circumcision that would have taken place in the first couple of weeks of life.  I was a little concerned because he will be mobile by then, but the doctor assured me that he will okay. 

So, I am awaiting a phone call from his office to schedule the surgery.
