It's hard being little.
Our little hero is having a rough time right now. He's had a inguinal hernia- air bulged into the sac where the testes would descend and now that's created a whole new set of issues. A surgeon came in to check him out and he fixed the immediate problem but it will have to be addressed surgically within the year, probably when he's circumsized. They had to stop feeding him because the hernia kept him from passing anything and his bowels were hugely dilated last night. His poor little belly went from 34 and 35 cm up to 39 cm, but it's back down to 34.5 cm right now and it's looking like they might start feeding him again soon- hopefully they'll start more slowly this time. I'll be sure to update later when we know more.
