As you can imagine, this was a lot to digest. Even though surgery on our little baby boy sounds awful and scary, we knew it needed to happen. He was clearly uncomfortable and having a very hard time eating and digesting food because his intestines were in the scrutum. This is a common problem for preemie boys because their muscles are not developed enough. Quin got the hernia in the first couple weeks of life and man was it bad. It was huge and looked incredibly uncomfortable. Before the surgery the doctors were making lots of not so subtle hints about the possibility of Quin needing a G-tube, which is a surgically implanted tube to his stomach because eating the volumes he needed were very challenging for him.
