Wear A Raincoat When Collecting A Urine Sample

When Adam was a baby,he was circumcised. A few days after we got home his foreskin covered his penis again. I talked to his doctor about this. He said Adam had extra foreskin and that he will grow into it. With having the extra foreskin came a few problems. One is that ever once in awhile Adam would complain that his penis would hurt. It would be a little red and look like it was a little raw. I put some A&D on and by the next day he would be fine. Adam came to me the other night complaining that his penis was hurting. While putting some A&D on he said it was the top that was hurting. As I looked at where he was saying I notice it look liked, it had a small cut on the opening of the urethra. Don't know how that could have happened and he's a boy, I've seen things, and I didn’t really want to know. The next morning the boys were getting ready for school and Luke came into the Living Room saying Adam is having trouble peeing and he can control it. I went into the bathroom and Adam urine was coming out in a very thin stream. When he got done, I took a look. The opening of the urethra is almost covered by a puss scab. I made an appointment for Adam to see the doctor. He wanted Adam to pee in a cup to make sure there was no puss in the urine. I went into the bathroom to help Adam out because it was painful for him to urinate. So here I was squatting on the bathroom, holding a paper cup, and I find out what Luke meant by Adam can't control it. Never knew it was possible to pee up and sideways at the same time. As a good mom I put my other hand over the cup and told him to stop peeing. Adam said, "told you I couldn't control it". We just laughed while this as going on. We had a mess on the floor and I was a mess. Dr. Harrison called another doctor in to take a look. They both agreed it was some kind of an infection on his penis. Dr. Harrison said this could have happened because of the extra foreskin. He gave us some cream to use. It worked wonders. Adam came home from school that day and in a very excited voice he said, "I went to the bathroom at school and it hurt only a little bit". Later that night he came running into the Living Room to let us know that it didn't hurt anymore when he peed.
