Hernia

Anna had an appointment at Children's Hospital today due to a suspected abdominal hernia and it turns out that she does indeed have a hernia and the specialist is recommending surgery. Chris and I have some research to do but we're pretty nervous at the prospect of our little girl having to have surgery at such a young age. Luckily the hernia is not one of the dangerous variety where intenstines are coming out, the type she has is pushing body fat out - but either way its not a good thing and we need to make a decision on next steps.
