The radiologist told my 6 year old son

[geckoheart]

"this catheter is the same size we use on a newborn. I will insert it into your penis..." My son says, "Didn't this happen when I was four?":argue: He did better than I would. Take a deep breath son, breathe.

Yes Justin, we will go buy you some chocolate covered doughnuts with sprinkles and we will go to target and buy you the spring action Darth Vader lightsaber.

All is well. Based on the results, another catheter is not in the near future.

Hope your son is doing better Richard.

Thanks!

He didn't pee for a day! He was scared. My wife called me yesterday afternoon, he had some pain medicine left from a previous injury. Gave him half a dose, 30 minutes later he peed for 2 solid minutes. He was so happy. He called me, "I peed and it didn't hurt!!!! Don't ever take me to that doctor again!" I think he'll remember it this time better than when he was 4.

That's pretty funny. I hope nothing is wrong and that he gets better soon.

He's all good. Was having bladder issues up until about a year ago. Appears that all has corrected itself :clap: :clap: :clap: .

So how'd the pirate outfit go? :dunno: I always hate to see kids have health problems. Glad he's better.

Still wearing a patch- 2 hours a day. His vision has improved from 20/60+ (with glasses) to 20/30. As long as the vision keeps improving, he keeps the patch. Eye's are straight- so his surgery is successfull. The patch is helping to strengthen the eye that had turned the most and was the weakest.

It's funny, when we took him to the radiologist he was mad thinking that we were taking him to "that place were we put him to sleep and made his eyes close." If he only knew he would have ran to the Eye surgeon.:smile:

Those are not fun, I had one as a kid and I use to perform them when I did general X-Ray years ago. I hope all is well.
