Hi Hun, Just wanted to try and put your mind at ease. Noah had emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia in his right scrotum on April 19th, and was home on April 20th.I should also mention he was barely 5 lbs at the time. You would never know he had surgery and he doesn't even have a scar. I know how scary it is when they have to surgery.

 

[Sweetie]

You are so strong, sending and good thoughts for Tom

VanWest - what happened when it strangulated? Tom's is getting bigger and bigger every day and he is teething so is always uncomfortable.

VanWest - what happened when it strangulated? Tom's is getting bigger and bigger every day and he is teething so is always uncomfortable.

It all happened quite sudden, I didn't even know he had a hernia. We took him to a doctors appointment and he wouldn't stop crying. The doctor thought he might have an upset tummy. He checked him out and mentioned he might have a hernia but at this time it was strangulated yet. I was able to swaddle him and drive the hour home with him. I let him sleep a little while then I decided I needed to change his diaper. As soon as he woke he started screaming(not a normal cry) I opened his diaper and his scrotum was so swollen, I knew something wasn't right. We took him to the doctors down south who had after hours and they sent him to the ER. He also had a hydro seal. Personally if it is getting bigger I wouldn't mess around waiting for them I would take him to the ER and make them check to make sure it isn't strangulated so it doesn't kill any of his bowel.

Thats a good thing, it means it can be reduced and it isnt strangulated. They tried to push Noah's back up but were unable to.
