McKay woke up at 5:30 am screaming like he was in pain. I took him to his pediatrician who found a hernia (apparently that is common is premies and twins). He told me that we needed to take him to the Primary Children's Emergency Room and possibly have surgery to get it fixed. We took McKay to Primary Children's and for the next six hours did blood work, vitals, ultrasounds, more blood work, etc. (and they wouldn't let him eat in case he had surgery- poor kid!).
Ultrasound
EKG (His potassium levels were high because of his kidneys. High potassium is bad for your heart so they did an EKG to check the electrical activity of his heart. The EKG looked good.)
When he finally was able to eat!
It was determined that McKay had a hernia on his lower left intestines and possibly one on his right. He needs surgery but Primary's was only doing emergency surgeries that day because it was a holiday. So we have his surgery scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, May 29th.
