Good And Bad Day
yesterday we saw the health visitor who weighed the mini-roo and confirmed that she had put on a whole 5 1/2 oz and so was not of concern anymore...yayayayayayayay! In addition, her jaundice is definitely going and they don't want to do any blood tests, etc which is great!
But then last night, while we were changing her, we noticed a little lump in her groin which got worse when she was crying....it seems it's a type of hernia called an inguinal hernia, and from hunting the web, the only cure seems to be, albeit minor, surgery. However, it does have to be done under a general anaesthetic, and has to be done quickly to prevent strangulation of the bowel....
So here I am, awake since 3am and worried sick about putting my little scrap through this, and desperately wishing we had a 24 hour doc we could see now to put my mind at rest....
Sometimes life really stinks...I know in the scale of things that can happen to a child, we've had it quite easy, but it would be nice to have a day when I wasn't worrying about jaundice, weight loss or now this....
