A Painful Recovery


Erica and I had to bring Brady to MGH this morning at 6:30am to get a circumcision. Without it, the doctor won't be able to run all the necessary tests next month to see if his kidney reflux has corrected itself or whether or not we have to operate on it.
It was a long day for all three of us. The worst part for me was having to watch my son go under in the operating room. It has not been easy to watch him in pain this afternoon.
But Brady is a trooper. He's taking Tylanol with Codine every four hours, and has pretty much sat in his recliner most of the afternoon watching tv. I'm glad to see that he has been eating and drinking. We also gave him a warm bath, which helped.
It will be a slow recovery, but hopefully it will be for the better.
The moral of this story: If you have a baby boy, just get him circumcised at the beginning. It is much easier that way.
