Sammy is All Better Now

 So, you were born with a hydrocele that didn't seem to close as we were told was likely. That is a communication between the body and he scrotum that normally closes up on its own, so we took you to age 1.5 to have a surgery with a doctor in Mexico. 

For 9 months it seemed like everything was great, but that your ballsack began to fill with fluid again. So we waited, took you back to the doctor, and Mommy said we should take you to Thailand and have a second surgery done there. 

The good news is that we were able to close a communication on the other side that had developed. But regardless, it was scary to put you under the knife and anesthesia. Scary. 

It turns out that you had scarring from the last surgery :( There was no communication between the body and the scrotum. 

But for a month after the surgery we didn't ket you do anything. And you didn't feel like it either. But on July 25, before were leaving Bangkok for Phuket, we took you to the doctor again, and she gave us the all clear. 
I am so happy. You can be Sammy again, rough and tumble little guy. Athlete. 
I love you so much! It hurt me seeing you not be able to run and play, but Sammy is back! Here you are on the island of Phuket with Super Nanna and Leo, Aira, and Reya.

Hydrocele- I am worried

 Dear Sammy, I am very worried, we had a surgery a year ago for your Hydrocele. That is because part of your body was leaking fluid into your scrotum. It seemed to be a success, and for about 9 1/2 months, your scrotum shrunk back to normal, but something must've reopened a small hole, because it has filled up again, and it's been a couple of months since it became noticeable, and it hasn't decreased in size, if anything it has increased. This means that we are likely going to have to have a second surgery for you, and I find it very upsetting, because the only thing that I desire is that you are healthy and happy. So forgive us, if you have to go back under the knife, and for the fact that we've already had two ultrasounds performed on your testicles. You do not like it, and you, scream and complain, and I don't blame you one bit, but it Has to be done, and I'm very very saddened and upset at all. But I'm gonna hold strong and do what's best for you.
