By the way I was saddened to read about the 3yo son of an internet friend who just had her ds cired yesterday. His foreskin was not retracting and he was getting kidney infections. I have heard it can cause that in extreme cases, but I wonder if she was told of the stretching/steriod cream thing before they took his skin? I doubt it from the sounds of things. SHe's very sad and feeling guilty but felt that she had no other choice.
I was also sad to read that post. And if I remember correctly she is not from the US. You would think that a doc there would know that circumcision will not prevent kidney infections. : Lucas is almost 4 and doesn't retract yet, but I'm not at all concerned. That poor little boy, I feel for them.
