Post-Op Appt Urology

This past Tuesday Lincoln had a follow up appointment with his urologist. The appointment was quick and easy. Just a quick look downstairs and catheter removal. The urologist said that every thing looks as it should 6 days post-op. She said Lincoln could still be tender for up to a month and I should call if he develops a fever or decreased urine output. Otherwise, she would like to see how Linc is healing up in about a month. Linc is still restricted on straddle toys and hip holding, but is now able to take quick baths, which he is happy about. He did not enjoy his showers and sponge bath. Lincoln has been improving over the last few days. He especially seems happier without a catheter! He has only been needing a dose of pain meds (tylenol) at night to help him sleep and his other two prescriptions are now stopped since they were only given with a catheter. Overall, Lincoln is doing great after this first stage surgery. We will have a better idea of what future surgeries will be needed as Lincoln heals up. Off topic -- Lincoln's birthday party this past Sunday was wonderful. Lincoln enjoyed himself and was in a good mood despite the heat. We did get a few drops of rain, but we were covered and it helped cool off the 90 degree weather! I will post all the details soon!
