YEAH for Matthew!!!!!!!!!!!

He had another post-op review yesterday with his urologist. Dr. Kalloo is so wonderful! She is so full of energy and has a sense of humor like I don't know. I guess when you are working with uh, well, the lower half of the human anatomy, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!

Matthew passed all his stuff yesterday with flying colors! He doesn't have to go back to her ever again, unless he needs to. Other than that, NOPE. He's finished. Mr. Happy is happy, the hernia scar/incision is healing very nicely, and the undescended little booger is right where its suppose to be! YEAH US! (Yeah Matthew.) He's been a real trooper through all of this, I tell ya. The poking, the prodding, the squeezing, the "feeling around for something that suppose to be there, but it's not", etc. He's been good about it. I'm so glad this round is over.

Now.............for the next round. Since Matthew's surgery, he's had a BLAST of consinents coming from his mouth that he's never been able to produce before. (Even dumbfounding his plastic/reconstructive doctor at Children's.) In November, we will head back to Children's for another FULL work up from the Craniofacial team. We are truly hoping that the speech therapist and the hearing folks will work with him and be able to figure out if he needs tubes in his ears and/or speech help. We try very hard to help Matthew pronounciate correctly, but I tell ya, there is only so much you can do as a parent. This isn't our domain. When he just can't hear the first part of a word and misses it totally...........well, what do you do?

This kind of help will be so beneficial for him! So, we head back to Children's on November 20th. All day affair again. Making the rounds from the dental folks, to the ENT's..........(What, about 7 docs all-in-all.) Here's hoping he blows them away with his charm and wit! ;o)
