My youngest was born with a defect known as Megameatus. It is a variation on Hypospadias. We were informed before we even left the hospital with him that he would need surgery to correct his "boy parts". We knew it was coming. But nothing prepares you for the day where your child is taken back to an operating room and you know they are going to be scared and confused because you aren't there with them. That they will wake up in pain and want you, their biggest comforter, and they will be surrounded by strangers. It was heartbreaking. But we got through it and my baby boy is recovering well. It's amazing how resilient kids are.
