I took Josh to his appointment with the urologist on Monday and did not leave with the answer I wanted!! I was there for his pre-surgery appointment to get him cleared for paperwork and get the paperwork for the hospital. Well, instead I left with none of that and had to go to the cardiologist to make an appointment. Josh's pediatrician is amazing and has extremely good ears. He hears everything, including Josh's heart murmur that the nurses can't pick up. Since I know that Dr. Lepore has heard a heart murmur I told the nurse at the urologist's office that he does have a murmur when she asked me about it! Dr. Lepore (our pediatrician) was just going to wait another month and see what he thought about it at our next well visit before sending me to the cardiologist. Too bad that isn't going to happen any more!! The urologist will not do the surgery on Josh until I get him cleared with the cardiologist now. Since Andrea has been to the cardiologist before they wanted me to see the same doctor with Josh so we don't get to go to see them until March 23. So, assuming they will clear Josh for surgery, his surgery will now be in April! I really would like to get this done ASAP so that it will stop hanging over my head!! For those of you who don't know, Josh is special and wasn't able to have his circumcision in the pediatrician's office like most kids!! He has what is called a "little hidden penis" as the urologist put it so we have to go have surgery done to fix that when he has his circumcision. They had to wait until he was 3-4 months old to do the surgery and he has to be 100% healthy. I have had this hanging over my head since Josh was born so I was so excited it was finally going to happen this week!!! And, now I am waiting again!
On another note, Josh is feeling lots better!! His cough is almost gone, his fever is gone, and his nose is clearing up!! YEAH!! I might have healthy kids again!
