I have gone back and forth on whether or not to post about this. Is it too personal? Maybe it is. But this blog is our story. The truth. No sugar coating. This is how I live my life, my triumphs and tragedys...
Here it is.
My son, Dakota - who is 7 now, was born with a webbed scrotum. Due to this, they would not circumsize him at birth. They had a fear that it would pull back too far leaving his opening too wide. We digressed and agreed. Fast forward 7 years. Dakota throughout the 7 years often has infections and pain in his man parts.
We went to a Urologist down at our local hospital. All Childrens Hospital. They explained to us that Dakota appears to have phimosis. They then begin to explain that he will have to be circumsized and they are no longer worried about the webbing.
Circumsized? At 7? Oh man!
Yesterday was Dakotas surgery, and he is in a lot of pain. I really hope that he feels better soon, and that this cures all the issues he was having below. Being that he is limited in his speech, it was hard for us to make the decision to do this. But it was even more hard when he was trying to tell us he was in pain.
Trying to look on the bright side, I am hoping this will help with our potty training which has been an ongoing battle for years!!
Here are a few photos from our event...
