Decisions Decisions

We are facing several decisions coming up that we really have to make but really don't want to when it comes to Jerrett. I would say that they are not serious decisions but in reality they are. It has nothing to do with the adoption. Jerrett is our son he always was even when he was living elsewhere and he always will be. The problems are a couple physical things that are going to have to be addressed. When we first got Jerrett I noticed that his little penis did not look right. I feel really weird typing that out and even weirder for having to ask people to confirm my concerns. I have not really seen that many male private parts. A few babies that I have babysat and my husband. So I wasn't entirely certain what was normal. Anyway, his is not. Whoever had done Jerrett's circumcision did not do it very well. It is actually really weird looking. Now it does not really effect the way that he goes to the bathroom or anything like that but down the road we do not want him to be embarrassed or made fun of. I just keep thinking about the locker room and how hard those are to begin with without having to be embarrassed that you look different. So the question wasn't to have it fixed but more along the lines of when to have it fixed. The other issue is that there seems to be a little lump right next to his belly button. I am thinking a hernia. That by itself is nothing really serious either, boys tend to get those. But once again something that might need to be fixed. That means they would have to put my poor little baby under to fix both issues! And the same dr could not do both surgeries. That means having to go through this twice! It totally has me stressed out. My sweet baby boy having to go through something that scary just turns my stomach. We are going to our GP this next week to see what his thoughts are and to send us to a specialist or whoever we need to see. The timing here is kinda tricky. We are still in an adjustment phase with Jerrett and don't want to interrupt the attachment that is going on by something traumatizing him and setting us back but we also still want him to be little enough to not really remember and to heal quicker. We are thinking in the next couple months if that is possible. Keep us in your prayers and pray that this does not set Jerrett back as he is doing so well.
