We went to see the doctor at noon today. He's a kind man with a gentle smile and dry sense of humor. Micah thinks he's the "nicest doctor in the whole world." Steve met us there, and we gave the doctor a run-down of Micah's symptoms, or lack thereof. Next he did an abdominal exam, during which he discovered a small hernia. (He let me feel it too.) Because the hernia was smaller than his finger, he doesn't think that's what is causing his pain, so he decided to run some more tests.
The urine lab results came back normal, but we won't have the blood test results until tomorrow. If everything comes back normal, the plan is to see a pediatric surgeon to see if he thinks the hernia might be causing the pain. Dr. B doesn't have any specific recommendations for managing the pain or dietary changes. The nurse is supposed to call tomorrow about noon with the blood test results. So, for now, we wait.
