Please pray for my son.
Holden has an appointment with his uroligist today. They are planning on starting his treatment that will lead up to his surgery. I'm a bit weary of the method because it includes hormone therapy for my 14 month old. I know the doctor knows more about this than I do, but it's still a little disconcerting. So please pray for my son, both that he will not be adversely affected by the hormones, and also that he will be safe through surgery and have a speedy recovery.

I think I missed something. What's the diagnosis that would require this therapy?

hypospadias, essentially the opening of his uretra didn't form correctly. It's a genetic defect, but it's really more cosmetic than anything. We want to get it done early so he doesn't remember the procedure and so he can have a normal life without the stigma that something is wrong with his private parts.

Gotcha.
Getting my pray on! :)
P.S. Yeah, I think it's good to have this done early. Guys are crazy weird about stuff involving their "down there"s.

Yeah, Oliver was as white as a ghost(ok so he always is...) when he told me about Holden's "defect". He didn't tell me exactly what was wrong at first so I was imagining the worst. When he finally told me, I was like "oh that's no big deal" but both he and my father in law yelled "YES IT IS!"
I guess you have to be a man to fully understand the implications. Of course, we were all thankful that it was something pretty benign and not something that would affect his health.
