My ten year old boy has crystals in his urine. They did an xray and urine sample. No blood and no stone showed up on the xray. However, if crystals are still present in 3 weeks he said they will need to do ultra sound. He seems to be fine. Drinks water, pees, eats and is always eager to play or go for a walk.

My little guy has had bladder stones in the past and had surgery to get them removed. My husband was able to stay at home with him after the surgery two years ago.

I really can't recall how long or how bad the recovery time was. Has anyone else experienced this surgery? If I take the following day off work do you think it will be okay to leave him alone during the day after that? I have to work and don't have many sick days left. Can you give me any idea as to what to expect if he does need the surgery? As you know from my past posts everything scares me since I lost my husband last April.

I am hoping with all of my heart that he doesn't need to have it. We both have been through enough pain and stress the past few months.....not to mention a ton of medical bills!
As always thanks for listening. I really appreciate all of you since I don't have anyone else with whom to discuss these issues.
