Update on Grant

armywife76

He has a rare congenital defect called a patent ura.cus. Something that happened very early on in his embryonic development causing an opening to remain between his bladder and umbilicus. It can cause recurrent infections, uti's, and cancer, so as soon as we get this infection under control, he'll have to have surgery in Memphis to repair it. Still waiting on the cultures, and they just did another bladder and kidney u/s to make sure nothing else is wrong, but hoping that this is all we're dealing with. I'm starting to think we must have something genetic that's causing these defects in our boys. Very weird, but so glad it can be fixed easily! Thank you for the T&P's, ladies.

I hope once his infection is all cleared up you can have the surgery right away so you don't have to worry anymore.

I am sorry you guys are dealing with this.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this but it sounds positive that there is a fix, even though no one ever wants their baby to have to have surgery.  I hope the surgery is a success and all of you can start healing with no additional issues, soon!

I am sorry we have to deal with this. DS had to have surgery at 7 weeks for hernias and came out unscathed. We were the ones worse for the wear:)

Glad that you have answers but I'm sorry that it will take surgery to make him better.

Poor little guy, I'm so glad they found it so soon and that it seems like it is something they can take care of.

Oh my word, how crazy! I am so sorry you guys are going through this, on top of everything else. Thank goodness it can be easily repaired, but I know it's still surgery and that in itself has to be so stressful for you. Sending T&Ps and a big (((HUG))) your way. Keep your chin up - Brighter days are ahead, I just know it!

queenbone

Oh, poor thing! I hope his surgery is quick and easy so you can move past this.  DS1 had to have an surgery for an testicular hernia.  Not fun, but he recovered pretty quickly.

I am so sorry!   How stressfull and scary.... Not what you need right now.   But I am glad to hear that it seems like a relatively simple fix.   Hope that infection clears up quickly and all of this is behind you soon!

Sorry little Grant is facing this issue, but I'm so glad that they've figured out what he has and that it can be treated fairly easily.  T&Ps that the infection is resolved soon so that they can get the surgery scheduled.

That makes two of us! The other ultrasound (bladder/kidney) came back normal, so we are very happy about that! Thanks for all your support, ladies. I hope we'll be drama-free for a long time after this
