Cooper's 2nd surgery

Alright for those who don't know. Cooper was born with a Hyposadia & Chordee deformity to his penis. What that is: The urethra doesn't form or is only partially developed & a Chordee is a curvature of the penis. Cooper would have had this even if he would the been born full term. We were unlucky in the fact that he had both very severely. We were told in the beginning that it would take 2 maybe 3 surgeries.

Yesterday we had to be up to Primary Childrens Hospital(PMC) at 6 a.m. to check in for Cooper's surgery. Everything went smoothly and they took him back at 7:30. Then the fun waiting began. Emily from the Operating room called around 9:30 and gave us an update. Nothing exciting just that his vitals were good and it would be a couple more hours. More waiting. Can I just say that they kept the TV on the same channel the whole time and I heard the same news at least 4 times! It was really starting to wear on me and then right at 11:30 Dr. O came out from the O.R. and took us into a conference room. He told us he was really pleased with the way it went. He wasn't able to get the tube to go to the tip of the penis but that it was only shy by 2mm. It would still be fully functional and Coop would never know the difference. Now we just have to wait and be extra careful that it heals beautifully. We would need to go back into surgery if the tube "springs a leak" some where. So keep your fingers crossed for us!
When he was waking up from the anaesthesia he was rolling around and had some how managed to get up on all all 4's and then bonked his head on the bed rails. Poor boy he was so drugged he didn't know what was going on & he was starving to boot. He drank 12oz. of Apple juice like it was nothing! Recovery went well other than the bonk on the noggin' and we were out of there at 1 pm. He slept all the way home and for another hour. He was fairly active last night. He was just very irritable and whiny.
This morning was another story. He started having bladder spasms. Which they told us would happen because he has a stint tube that goes directly into his bladder and constantly drains into his diaper. I forgot to give him another dose of a med that is supposed to prevent them, when I gave him his Tylenol at 4am this morning. Oops that wont be happening again. Basically he screams until they stop. Its so sad though because when he has one his little legs buckle and shake. Poor little man!
