My baby son of 1.5 months old is in the hospital
 

My 1,5 month old son is in the hospital. I hope I explain this right as I don't
know the correct english terms for it. My son is suffering from a hernia in the
groin area on both sides. His intestines are pushing on it /partly through the
ruptures so it won't heal by itself apart from the fact that if his intestines
break he will surely die.

The surgery by itself is not so dangerous but since he's only 1 and a half
month old and only weighs 6 and half pounds it is risky.

So anybody who needs to get in touch with me urgently CALL me at
+31 630 419 691. I am online regularly but I'm not keeping
up with the boards. So trying to get in touch with me through the board
won't work, call me or use email, aim, icq or skype and be patient if I don't
respond straight away. My son is in a hospital not very close to my house
since they only do this surgery to babies in very few hospitals.

and wish me luck dammit I've more than a fair share of badluck over the past few months :Oh crap

Oh and happy thanksgiving to all of you! :thumbsup

Good luck man, that's terrible but I'm sure he'll pull through ok. I know you're worried sick.

Best wishes

So sorry to hear that I hope that all goes well

I had one of those operations around the same age. hope it goes well

best wishes man, hope it'll be all well

Tering man, veel sterke gewenst!!!!!

same here, got a big ass scar from it.

hope things go well for you.

Thanks!

for the dutchies:

Hij heeft een dubbele liesbreuk aan beide kanten en zijn dunne darm drukt door de breuk.

I don't know how to translate that any other way than I did above.... :(

Best wishes, bro. I hope all goes well for your son and your family.

Veel sterkte ermee, ik hoop voor jullie dat alles goedkomt!!

Very sorry for you guys. I'm sure he'll pull through just fine. Just so far in this thread it seems like lots of people had that. Best wishes for him to get well quick!

All the best&all the luck from everyone at AWEmpire.

he'll be fine

Sorry to hear that, our prayers go out to you and your family

Damn mate, that sucks.

Best wishes/Veel sterkte.

My son had the same operation when he was 2 or 3. They make 2 small incissions on each side and fix it. He was up running around the next day and in no pain. I hope it works out just as well for your son.

Best wishes to you and your son.

Mijn vriendin is een pedeatrics doctor en zij zegt dat dit vaker voorkomt bij babies. Het is een vrij standaard operatie. Maak je geen zorgen, het komt vast goed in orde. :thumbsup

Thanks everybody for the warm reactions. He will get surgery in a week or so
there's a waiting list but I caused mahem in the hospital yesterday which
resulted that it's done now within a week or so instead of the early january.
He must be in pain cause he's crying the whole day and part of the night so I
started a riot in the hospital to get this done faster......fucking idiots you
can't leave a baby who's in pain waiting for a month before they do this
surgery.....I'll keep you guys posted on how things will work out.

Thanks again it means a lot to me.

i hope everything ends ok, i wouldnt know what to do if that happened to my son

this is so fucking terrible hope things will get better mate.

bump :)

My condolences, man. Good luck to your son!

klote om te horen, succes ermee ze kunnen tegenwoordig bijna alles dus het komt zeker goed

sterkte

I had a double hernia when I was a baby also..hope all goes well with the little shaver

Damn, sorry to hear that, hope everything works out.

Hans,

This is defiantly one of the worst feelings in the world... (I never want to see any kid suffer) I hope for best. On a positive note kids have some of the most amazing resilient in the world.

Best regards,

Anthony

:( sorry to hear that..

good luck .. hope everything will be fine

My thoughts are with you! Try and be strong! :-)

Sad when it's an infant .. they don't even know what is going on or why it hurts; parents feel hepless ...

Good luck with the surgery ... everything should be fine.

If I see people looking for you here ( or complaining ), I will point them to this thread.

i can offer only my prayers

:smokin

Good luck mate, i hope all will be ok soon.

I Hope it goes well,
on the bright side, there seem to be a lot of people even on here that have had this, and I'm sure technology has advanced since then, so things will be fine! :)

thoughts are with you and your son this morning :thumbsup

oh god. Best of luck for a healthy, speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Brad and Melissa

I hope the best for your son and your family.

My son had a hernia at the age of 2 months but we were able to prolong it until he was 1 years old, and then he had the operation.

The operation is very simple and recovery is fast. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear. Good Luck!!

it's really sad when you hear little angels are suffering from pain...so hard to think that with their tiny body they feel so much already...sorry to hear bout that! hope everything turns out right! my hopes and prayers are with you...

For whatever it is worth, my oldest son had the same type of thing when he was 3 months old, and had to have emergency surgery.

He's 18 now. :)

The surgery will be much harder on you than it is your son.

Best of luck with it, and know you are in my prayers. :)

Sorry to hear..sent my prayers, but in that case GFY would not be the place, but you never know. Hope to read some good news soon.
