It was Mummy's birthday and Maisie gave Mummy a beautiful, very soft and cuddly dressing gown. Maisie can't wait to get home to get some Amazing cuddles from Mummy.
Quite often when Mummy or Daddy call the nurses to see how Maisie is doing the answer is; "Maisie's being Maisie".
Today Maisie was being Maisie - just as we thought that she was progressing and well on the way home she throws a wee curve ball.
Maisie was being very grumpy, she didn't want any feed, Daddy's cuddles didn't cheer her up (very unusual) and Maisie's nappy was clean. What could be wrong with Maisie?
While changing Maisie's nappy we found a lump in her groin area.The doctor came to see Maisie but by that time it had disappeared. It is quite likely that it is a hernia which is common in young children as their muscles are not very developed. This could have been because Maisie had a lot wind (although Daddy was getting the blame) and was straining alot.
It is good that the hernia popped back in as it took away Maisie's discomfort. The consultants will check Maisie to confirm if it was a hernia or not and a specialist will probably see her on Friday.
If it is a hernia she will need a short operation to ensure that it doesn't pop out again. If this is required it shouldn't delay getting home to much. Maisie will just have a wee detour to Edinburgh on her way home.
Poor Maisie.
