pray and let it be "fats"....

took the little girl to the clinic last monday cus she was have diarrhea. i usually just monitor her when she was having diarrhea cus it usually just meant that she is popping new teeth and it usually clears up after a day or two. what made me worried was she pooped in the wee hours which she havent done so since 3 months old. so i was worried that it might be serious even though she seems her happy usual self.

do you know that there is no medicine for child below 2 for diarrhea?

anyway the doctor was checking her tummy and found a uneven bump on the right side of her belly button. she was concern and felt that it should not be left un-diagnosed. so she wrote a referral letter and told me to bring her straight to the a&e.

at the triage, the nurse examined her and explained her condition in layman terms. we got to see the doctor within 20mins (WOW!)

the a&e doctor is quite sure that it is just fats. -_-"
but has schedule her to see a specialist tomorrow just to be sure is nothing else.



taken from the mayoclinic.org:

An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through an opening in the abdominal muscles. Umbilical hernia is a common and typically harmless condition. Umbilical hernias are most common in infants, but they can affect adults as well. In an infant, an umbilical hernia may be especially evident when the infant cries, causing the baby's bellybutton to protrude. This is a classic sign of an umbilical hernia.

Many umbilical hernias close on their own by age 1, though some take longer to heal. To prevent complications, umbilical hernias that don't disappear by age 3 or those that appear during adulthood may need surgical repair.
