Surgery appointment yesterday

Jackson had the appointment with the surgeon at CHW about his testicle. He felt around for the testicle and said that he believes (but not 100% sure) that he felt the veins that feed the testicle. If he did feel that then there is a chance that the testicle could be there (although smaller than normal) but just hiding. Or it could be that the testicle got twisted somehow and died.

We are scheduled for a laparoscopic "peek" inside on the 22nd. Depending on what he sees, he will either go in and grab the testicle and tack it down where it belongs or if it is dead he will remove it. We are hoping it will just be a day thing, but there is a chance he will be admitted overnight.

We also met with the dietitian to get the "recipe" for Jackson's blended formula. When we get a Vitamix we will be all ready to start! Actually we did purchase a very very old Vitamix off ebay, but it is literally from the 60s I think, seriously old. But our old blender died (prunes killed it!) and we needed something to hold us over.
