We had noticed Friday that it looked like the scab had fallen off and the urethra they built was splitting. After a through stare I noticed it had split open, but it wasn't causing any pain so we figured we wouldn't worry about it. This morning we had an appointment to get Cooper's stint tube taken out. Sure enough the Doc said it had split open. He didn't give me any explanation as to why. When I say it split I mean the WHOLE urethra. There is just a 1mm piece that looks like its holding on; but even underneath that it split as well. Kris and I are so disappointed!
So it looks like we wait for it to heal while keeping an ever watchful eye that it doesn't scar over and completely block his urethra. It will be another 3 months before we go back and see how it healed and schedule another surgery.
BUMMER!!
