Well, it's done. Dylan's no longer got excess fluid around is testicles. Surgery was started at 3:30pm today, took about an hour and 20 minutes, and he is doing just fine. We were at the hospital a LOT longer than we anticipated. And when we finally got done, Dylan wolfed down two slices of bread, a yoghurt, a cup of squash, and a McDonalds happy meal with chicken mcnuggets and a strawberry milkshake. He hadn't had anything to eat all day, and that kid was STARVING!
I'm feeling very into the NHS today. The staff at the hospital were brilliant. It took a long time, but the surgical team seemed very competent and the nurses were absolutely wonderful.
Dylan's incision is only about an inch long, and they used dissolvable stitches so we won't have to be seen at the hospital again unless he develops any worrying symptoms. Even then, we can just take him to a closer hospital. But the surgeon said that the procedure went very well--just as planned.
Now both of my babies are tucked up in bed and I am watching "Diamonds are Forever." It feels good to be home. Our hospital adventure started at 10:20am and ended when we got home at 8:40pm. Long day!
