Under the Weather

The boys have had colds for the past few weeks it seems. First Van, then Gus, then Van again. We found out on Monday that they have ear infections as well; a first for both of them. Thus, we have a double dose of amoxicillin going on at our house.

We also discovered this week that Van has a communicating hydrocele; a mass of abdominal fluid surrounding the testis. This occurs when the opening between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum has not closed properly and completely. We had a surgery consult on Wednesday and he his scheduled to go in on February 24th. It's a common occurrence in boys and completely painless.
