[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 397537, member: 3444"] We met with the urologist (who I could tell was fairly shocked at this but trying hard not to show it). He asked me to start at the beginning and explain what happened so I went all the way back to 2006 with the Crohn's diagnosis, which was followed about a year or two later with all the "IBS" issues. I explained all the family drama, difficult child 1 drama, etc. And how I think this came to pass. difficult child 1 said he didn't really remember when he did it, but acknowledged that he did insert something, had only vague recollection of what it might be, etc. I think that satisfied the uro that this truly was a self-inflicted event and left me in the clear (pretty bad that a parent would be suspect but I can see where they have to cover their bases). So he thinks this can be dealt with endoscopically, but there is a slight possibility that it may need to be done laparascopically, and a slightly more remote chance of open surgery. And as such, he has to book this for the O.R. for the just-in-case scenario, and since there are only so many time slots available, we are looking at 1/18 as the soonest possible, barring any cancellations, etc. Either way, difficult child 1 has to have a pre-op physical and urinalysis which they usually have done two weeks prior to surgery. But I saved the really best part for last. After we got home tonight, my mom came over to visit, and she tells me that her brother's 16yo stepson, who was with all of us Saturday for Christmas, is now suspected to have chickenpox. A little while later, said brother calls her to say that they took the stepson to the doctor today and they're pretty certain it's chickenpox (he probably caught it from my uncle because he just got over having shingles). And the reason this is such a big deal for us is because difficult child 1 has NO IMMUNITY to chickenpox (we had his titer checked in '06) and he is taking an immunosupressant because of his Crohn's. :faint: If he contracts it, he may need to be hospitalized, it's that serious. Soooo, I just fired off an email to his GI asking what to do at this point. I swear, I do NOT want to know what could possibly happen next. I think we've about exhausted all that I could ever have imagined. :nonono: [/QUOTE]
