5 Catheters Later...

Last week Caleb had some extensive tests done on his new "plumbing." After, 3 attempts of putting the catheter in and hitting a blockage, they decided to go ahead and put our very hungry, tired, and fussy 9 month old under the anesthesia. They were finally able to successfully perform the VCUG and the 5th catheter was to test using Nuclear Medicine.

Sadly, we found out that Caleb will have yet another surgery on Wednesday, July 29th at 7:30 am. This one is just a day surgery, called a Urethra Cystoscopy. There will be no incision but an entry through his little-boy part.

We pray for the urologist to successfully scrape the extra tissue from the urethra, for the anesthesiologist to take care of our little guy as this is his 5th time to go under, and for the Lord to heal Caleb's plumbing.

Poor little guy has been through so much! I'll be praying for Caleb, and for his mommy and daddy!
