Ethan Update - Home!

We are home from the hospital. We got home Saturday around lunchtime. The surgery itself went really well and seems to be a success. Without too many details, Ethan's boy parts were totally hidden under scar tissue and were not even visible. The risk of infection was huge because of this, so we're glad this could be corrected so quickly.

All the nurses and staff were great and took very good care of us while we were staying at the hospital. Ethan does have a lot of swelling right now. The doctor told us to give it about a week for it to go down. If it's still swollen and the boy parts are "hiding" under the swelling, we'll have to see the doctor sooner than our 3 week post-op appointment and more surgery might be needed. We are praying that the swelling goes down and things return to how they should be.

He seems to have twinges of pain here and there but the infant Tylenol seems to help alleviate that. He's eating very well (did I mention he's gained 3 pounds since he was born - 1 month ago!!!!!). He's also urinating much better than before so for that we are thankful!

Please continue to pray for his healing and that no more surgery would be needed. He's definitely a trooper and we are so blessed to have him in our lives!  Thank you for your prayers. We have definitely felt them during this time!
