The new innie.

B will officially have an innie in a week or so, after the swelling goes down. She was amazing. She was so brave and didn't care about the IV or anything. The nurses were very impressed.................or just brown nosing, I don't know.

She came through things with flying colors. She was very tired and sore yesterday, but seems to be bouncing back already. (The liquid Vicodin might be helping:)

I, on the other hand, am still exhausted. The worry of yesterday, combined with sleeping precariously with B on the couch last night have rendered me quite useless.

She is already mad at me cause I had to call her gym last night and pull her from her Tuesday class, as she is not permitted to do gymnastics for 4-5 weeks.

Is it Monday again?

B is having her hernia fixed Friday morning. Fortunately it is outpatient and (fingers crossed) all will go well.

J got to pick up the CORRECT glasses today, yay!

I am in a terribly grumbly mood, must be the yucky, rainy, chilly weather:(

And on it goes.....

Just got home from the ER. Little B has an umbilical hernia. The Dr wanted to wait until she was 6 before seeing if she required surgery. I guess that most kids born like this heal on their own.

This afternoon she was doubled over, screaming in pain. I took her in and they did a cat scan. Apparently the big ol' belly button hernia that usually sticks out like a cherry tomato has somehow slid back inside the muscle wall and was causing pain. They manipulated it around and eased the pain and it is partially back out, but she needs to have surgery very soon.

I will call the surgeon in the AM to schedule.......................
