Went to the doc today and the latest diagnosis of Sylvia's malady is a hernia. We will go see a surgeon mid-November. She likely wouldn't have surgery until she's at least 6 months since there is a risk of complications with the anesthesia for infants. Interestingly, both her parents had hernias, so I suppose it just runs in the family.
Unfortunately, when she gets upset, her crying pushes harder on the hernia, which leads to more pain, which means more crying, and the cycle continues. So, it seems that when she gets upset with anything, it will quickly escalate and we will be challenged to work on learning soothing techniques and how to press the hernia back into its place. Just the latest challenge in our parenting adventure.
