It should be a pretty small surgery and last about 45 minutes. We are not sure yet if he will stay overnight, but most likely he will stay over night just to be sure he recovers well. This surgery was definitely unexpected, but we are so thankful that his urologist is able to operate on him before he moves.
Which leads me to the next thought. We are pretty bummed that Isaac's urologist is moving. He really is very knowledgable and passionate about helping children with OEIS. He has a great opportunity in NYC and willing to continue to care for Isaac in any way that works best for us. We are hoping to have a urologist either in Cincinnati or Columbus just to be sure we have someone for little things that may come up, but otherwise we plan to continue Isaac's urological care in NYC with Dr. Alam. He has done such a wonderful job caring for and operating on Isaac and we trust Isaac in his care. It is not ideal to travel for medical care, but we know this is best. Many families travel all over for all their child's medical needs and we feel so blessed that we have really been close to great doctors and haven't had to travel more than 2 hours until now.
On another note, Isaac started school in early September and he is loving it! He has had no trouble at all when I leave him. He usually just goes to playing and boldly says, "bye Mom!" He has gotten to use a stander and even jump on a trampoline!
