I'm a first time mom and my baby is 16 days old. At his two week appointment on Tuesday our pediatrician pointed out a granuloma in his belly button which she cauterized that day and then asked that we come in for another cauterization on Thursday. When we went in yesterday she noticed a large amount of discharge around his belly button and suspected that the urachus (the tube that runs between the belly button and the bladder in utero for waste excrement) had not fully closed. In most cases it closes right after birth and actually turns into (for lack of a better term) a ligament that is still present in adults.
My son got sent for an ultrasound yesterday afternoon and we got the results last night that the urachus was still present in my son's abdomen and that our pediatrician would be consulting with a pediatric urologist from The Children's Hospital to determine if the best route would be to basically play the waiting game to see if it'll close on it's own or if it'll need to be surgically repaired.
This morning we got the call from my pediatrician that The Children's Hospital would like to see our son for a consultation before the final decision regarding surgery is made. Right now I'm waiting on a call from The Children's Hospital to schedule the consultation and I'm panicking at the thought of my infant needing surgery. I do understand that in the grand scheme of surgeries that my child could need at this age that it is not a huge deal, but I've never even had surgery before, just the thought of having to put my infant under anesthesia breaks my heart.
So basically if you've had personal experience with this or if you know someone who has, could you share how it went for you? I'm having a hard time finding others who have dealt with this.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer
..... Will get a reward.
Well, toucan play at that game.

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.
The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!
Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
I heard parents named their children lance a lot.
First post please don't kill me
Edit: i went to sleep and now my inbox is dead, thank you kind strangers for the awards!

Holy cow! Thank you everyone for the upvotes and awards! I wasn’t expecting this!
He should have a good vowel movement. His next diaper change could spell disaster though.

Making it all the way home and realizing that they forgot one of the containers:
Riceless
That was the punchline
