Brinley has had a little piece of what looks like extra skin inside of her little baby belly button since birth. I thought nothing of it (just thought she had a funny little belly button) until it started getting bigger and oozing. Last Wednesday (Dec 6th) I took her in for Dr. Psota to look at it. She said to stop cleaning it out with a Q-tip and just leave it be. If it was still oozing by Monday (today) to bring her in. So we went back in today (it wasn't any better) and Dr. Psota ordered an ultrasound on her little belly. We are heading to get that ultrasound at the hospital in about a half hour.
Dr. Psota believes it might be a patent urachus (tube beween the bladder and umilicus) (See this blog for more information : http://juvenilescience.wordpress.com/2007/08/29/danger-from-the-belly-button/ ) We would have to go to Omaha and see a pediatric surgeon if that is the case. Please pray for Brinley's little belly button, her cooperation during the ultrasound, and for Mom's stress level. We will keep you updated.
Mom and Brinley
