Weight: 8lbs 10oz
While talking to my mom today to check on Austin, she asked me about a lump on his right side near where he had his colostomy. I hadn't really noticed it but called the pediatrician to have it checked out. We were able to get in late this afternoon and she thinks he may have an abdominal wall hernia. It's really close to his surgery site. I will be calling his surgeon's office tomorrow to make an appointment. Yay, fun!
One good thing about this visit is that Austin got officially weighed! Based on his current pattern of growth his doctor anticipates that he will hit the growth chart at around 7-8 months old. If you look at his curve, it is going almost straight up. He's doing this all on his own without any extra calories in his milk.
