We ran into another road block on Friday when Max's scrotum swelled up to the size of an adult fist. According to the radiologist and urologist it isn't a hernia or a hydrocele which would mean no surgery. Myself, Tim and the nephrologist and physicians are not convinced of this yet. Once the dialysis was stopped his scrotom went back down to regular size within about 24 hours, which would mean that there is some kind of connection between his scrotom and his pertineal cavity. What they are going to do is restart the dialysis today and watch to see if it swells back up. If it does they will get an ultrasound immediately to see if the radiologist can see a hernia or hydrocele while the fluid is actually flowing in that direction.

So, Max was suppose to come home tomorrow (Monday), but once again that isn't going to happen. If (God forbid) Max needs another surgery, he will obviously be in the hospital for probably another month.

Keep your fingers crossed that it was just a fluke and nothing else will come from it. Please say an extra prayer that all goes well with this round of dialysis!
