M.P.
Well I have not had the un-pleasure of dealing with Hypospadius. I have had the very UN un-pleasure of having my 2nd daughter born with Torticollis and craniosynostosis where she had surgery at 6 months, and PT for a year and half. After seeing the plastic surgeon, and the PT therapist for her 18 month check up, the therapist wrote and checked her out as done with therapy, and the surgeon said see you at her 2 year check up. Ok so thought we were good. Scheduled the 2 year check up with the Neuro surgeon and when we get there he is yelling at us. Why had we quite coming, why had we stopped PT, why had we not gotten more help. WHHHAAAT? I was really upset and shaking. I was really angry with the Neuro. He explained that since we quit the PT she had regressed and gotten worse with her tilt (not that I saw) but he felt she needs more surgery and possibly more plastic surgery to correct the asymetry. I told him what happened and now we are embroiled and stuck in the middle of a possible action against the PT therapist and the Plastic surgeon. WOW. Its been a nightmare, whats worse is we got dropped through the cracks and my daughter may have to go through more surgery.
Point? DONT let anyone make you feel your too paranoid. Medical professionals have so much on their plates, and the attitude to go with it. They feel the parent is suppose to know everything, and in fact we are not in on the loop for most of these things that are just common place for medical staff. Things like these need to be addressed and your fears alleviated. Get the doctor to explain exactly what you need to hear. Since your Ped moved, get it from the new doc what he knows about it, and if he is not totally forth coming or knowledgeable. Get another one.
