It just gets better and better. | Arthritis Information

Kid developed a large scrotal mass. I first saw it Sunday after his bath. left side of scrotum is bigger than a golf ball. Maybe the size of a handball/raquet ball. Anyway big, noticeble and tender.

We went to dr today. He was talking up a storm to the nurse. "I's is gots a sore scrotum, boys have scrotums, mine hurts me, you dont have a scrotum, mommy doesnt have a scrotum, but Papa does. The dr gonna look at mine scrotum and fix it." in one breath.
He then went on to discus in more detail where it hurts and how his scrotum is right next to his pee pee. Barb (the nurse) and I were just about doubled up trying to laugh silently.

Anyhoo dr comes in plays with the kid a little, then does the exam, says its either a hernia or hydrocele, neither of which was present before.. We see urologist on thursday to figure out where to do surgery. We are hoping its down here, but dr raised possibility of it being in Buffalo at Childrens Hospital, on the chance the local anesthesiologist isnt comfortable working on a 3 year old.

sigh.

Bless his heart, what a sweet boy. I hope all goes well and he is up and running in no time. Best wishes!
