Goodbye Dr. McDermott!

Dr. McDermott is Cole's urologist. As many of you may know when he was born, the dr.'s suspected that he had a testicular hernia. That pretty much means that when he was developing some of his intestine managed to make its way down to his testicle. So we were seeing a urologist every 6 months to keep an eye on it. A few appointments ago Dr. McDermott decided that he thought it was actually a hydroseal and not a hernia. Rather than intestine in his testicle, he thought it was just fluid. His major concern was that the testicle wasn't closed off and that more and more fluid could potentially pass back and forth. If this were the case, Cole would have needed surgery.

This afternoon we had an appointment. Cole of course kicked and screamed during the entire examination. Dr. McDermott determined that no fluid is passing back and forth and everything looks great. We DON'T have to go back to Dr. McDermott anymore! YAY!!
