Hernia

Maggie and I spent the morning at the clinic. Last night I noticed she might have a hernia in her groin, so I made an appointment to get her checked out this morning. Sure enough, it's as I expected.

We have to take her on Monday to the U of M to consult with a surgeon. The doctor we saw today says it's pretty likely that they will have to operate. The doctor said that preemies are more prone to hernias.

It doesn't seem to hurt her, but we have to keep a close eye on Maggie until her Monday appointment to make sure things don't change.

On a more positive note, Maggie weighed 6 lbs 13 oz today. She's been growing an ounce a day this past week. That expains all of the frequent feedings.
