Surgery

Took Lincoln and Gavin to the urologist on Monday. They were both born with Hypospadius...a condition where the pee tube comes out the underneath side of the penis rather than the tip. It appears to be fairly common - occurring in about 1 in 300 boys. It seems to be a minor case for both of them. They will have to have surgery to correct the condition at the end of November. It's a 2 hour procedure. So it'll make for a long day - about 9-10 hours - considering we need to be there 2 hours before the surgery and stay 3-4 hours for recovery. Pray for strength for us and the boys and that there are no complications (they will be put under for the procedure). Also please pray that they heal quickly with minimal pain.
