Omi had a blast at the March of Dimes Walk yesterday. So much in fact, that he has apparently given himself another hernia.
I was changing him last night, and noticed that he seemed a little swollen on one side "down there". It felt like he had a little pocket of fluid right below where his incision was for his last hernia surgery. He had been holding on to some fluid that has slowly been going away over the last couple months, and we figured that this might be what it was.
So I called a Doctor and explained to him what was going on, and since Omi seems to be in no pain from it, the Doctor said to just have him checked out today.
Sure enough, after an examination today they determined that he most likely has another hernia. It's odd, cause while you would think that it would have ruptured where he had one before, but this one is in a new spot.
So, Mr. Omi has an appointment for an ultrasound tomorrow and we'll see if and when he needs surgery.
Fingers crossed.....
Oh no!!! Poor Omi!! And, his poor parents :) I pray all goes well and he gets what he needs. Dusty and Heather... You two have stayed SO strong through his entire NICU ordeal, so I am confident that you can handle anything that comes along now!!! Let me know if you need ANYTHING!!!!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he'll be fine, it just sucks how much the little guy has been through in such a short amount of time.
