well,things are never boring in the mckay house hold.my oldest son is 9.at the age of five we took him to the drs because we noticed that he had a lump in his scrotum.after an ultr sound it was found to be nothing more than fatty tissue.but they also found that his testicles had not descended.unknown to us (its not like we regularily feel our childrens scrotum.)any way they told us if nothing had changed in 6 months to go back.we didnt.he is nearly 10 now and low and behold it came to my attention that he still does not have any testicles in his sack.i took him to the dr today to be told he need an operation to have them brought down from way up near his stomach.he was very upset that the dr had to touch him there and now i have to explain to him that there will be more of this followed by an op.girls check your little boys.i should have dealt with this 5 years ago,and now because of my own ignorance the poor thing has to go through this embarrasment now that he is older,it would have been alot easier when he was younger and was not so conscious of his private parts.well at least we are doing it before he begins puberty.it would have been even more dificult then i guess.i wonder if this is going to have any effect on him being able to have children i hope not.
