2 year appointment and sad news...


Landon had his two year appointment a couple of weeks ago and he is healthy and growing and looking great! He is talking, counting, naming shapes and colors and running all over the place. However, we also found out that he might need surgery and were sent to see a specialist to make sure. For Landon's sake in years to come, I won't go into much detail. He has what is called Penile Torsion and will be having surgery on June 17th to correct it. It's scary to think of him being put under for the operation and I'm sad that our little man will go through a painful recovery. Even though we are pretty nervous about the rare complications that are associated with any surgery, it's reassuring to know that he will be under the care of the doctors and nurses at Primary Children's and couldn't be in better hands.

We will keep everyone updated the day of the surgery and let you know how everything goes!

Poor little guy! We'll keep you guys in our prayers.

I am getting a gowear fit, basically the exact same thing as a body bug but less expensive. Made by the same company and if you look at the two and compare it looks like only packaging is different. Thanks for the encouragement, I just wish it would drop quicker!

Oooooh I want one! I have always thought the bodybuggs were cool, but way too expensive. You will have to let know how you like the gowear fit.

Hilary, I'm so sorry! That's no fun. Good luck with the surgery and everything! We'll be thinking of ya.

Oh no, Hil! That's crazy! Well, I will definitely keep you and your little guy in my thoughts and prayers.

If it makes you feel any better, I think you are making a good choice. It is usually best to get these things taken care of when kids are younger - they just recover so much better and quicker than adults do!

Oh no! Poor little Landon! I'm sure everything will go perfectly, but it's still scary to think of your little guy having surgery. Make sure to keep us updated on how he's doing!
