More health issues

As I mentioned previously, Addelyn has had a cold this week. She and Logan are doing much better now. Although illnesses are never fun, sometimes they are a blessing. Addelyn's cough brought a potentially serious condition to our attention this week. It looks like she has an inguinal hernia. This occurs when tissue [bowel] pushes through a weakened portion of the muscle. The major risk is that the bowel would become incarcerated (stuck) and the bowel dies. The treatment is surgery. I will call a pediatric surgeon tomorrow and see if he will see her as soon as possible. So, thanks to Addelyn's cough, we have found a potentially dangerous problem. Oh, did I mention that Super Dad is the one who noticed the hernia?! So please be praying for us and that there will be no complications.
