Basically Tobias is missing his right testicle. The Dr felt around for awhile in his scrotum, and up higher, right *under* his penis, to no avail. She felt around in his "hip" area (where a female's ovaries are) to no avail.
Dr G told Jessica that normally she can feel the testicle by the hip area, and she couldn't. So she is going to refer us to the specialist (urologist, I imagine), and if he felt it there, then he could possibly get it down without having to do surgery.
However she said that because she couldn't find it there, it *probably* is in the abdomen, which requires surgery, and cannot be put off, because if the testicle is in the abdomen it can cause cancer. Did you hear that? Cancer…..it can cause Tobias to have cancer.
So that's that. We should hear from the Dr's office within a week w/the approval & referral to the specialist. Please pray.
