So here are the details of Maxton's hernia

On Thursday morning out of the blue he began screaming,crying, and quivering all over. Nothing I did comforted him he just kept crying hysterically I began to look over him his feet did he step on something, put him down to see if he could walk, looking at his arms, I then thought he must have a tummy ache so I began to rub his tummy, he didn't have a diaper on since I just got him out of the bath tub and something made me look down at his "private" area and that is when I saw a "huge" bulge to the right of his penis.. It was about the size of a bouncy ball. I freaked out and called Clint who then told me to "calm down I can't understand what your saying" I told him "meet us at the ER".. By the time we arrived at the ER it was gone! I was sure that nobody even Clint would believe me. They came in to examine him and decided to give him some pain meds and get a sonogram of that area.. It did pop back out again after arriving at the ER, but didn't seem to cause him to much pain that time. The sonogram showed no abnormal findings, but we were referred onto the Pediatric Urologist. Our appt. with them was today and they will be doing a hernia repair surgery on Maxton on Dec.10th . This is a birth defect, it is very common and the surgery is pretty routine. It is still surgery so for Clint and I it is very scary. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it now and hopefully it won't be a problem before the surgery. They would have scheduled the surgery for this week, but he seems to be coming down with a cold so the doctor wanted to give him 2 to 3 weeks to get over it before doing the surgery. So that is what we know for now!!
