Arran's Version of the Year 2003
November 26, 2003
Arran had his final surgery today to bring his left testicle the remaining distance down. His right one was removed previously when it died as a result of the surgery. His surgeon has better hopes for this one in that it is bigger and has more blood vessels supplying it. Surgery went fine. There was only one anesthesiologist on today so they were going to scrap the surgery because she didn't think that she could place a tube on her own. His surgeon assured her that it would be a fast surgery so they decided to mask him instead. He came right out of anesthesia. This was his easiest surgery so far. Poor little thing.

Arran is doing great. He had a wonderful Christmas where everyone spoiled him rotten. Once again this year his favorite "gift" was the wrapping paper and bows but he made a huge and wonderful mess with it. This kid knows how to play! No real illnesses thus far this winter. He's fully recovered from his surgery and is enjoying life.
