It is just never ending

For the past couple of weeks I have noticed that Cole was having a lot of stomach issues and seems to be in a lot of pain when trying to poop or pass gas.  I took him in to the doctor a couple times and they could not find anything wrong with him. I asked about switching his formula because I thought that he might have an allergy to the milk or the formula, but they did not want me to switch because it was the only preemie formula.  Another week went by and he was still in a lot of pain so I brought him back in to the doctor and it turns out that he has an allergy to the protein in milk and has a hernia.  My theory is that all of the struggling with pooping and passing gas due to the milk allergy caused the hernia.  The pediatrician thinks that he is going to have to go into surgery next week, we are meeting with the surgeons at Children's early in the week to figure out an action plan.  The surgery is not a major surgery, but for someone a young as Cole there is always a risk of putting him under.  We would love your thoughts and prayers, I keep saying that I can't handle any more and yet it keeps coming, the Lord must think that I am really strong!
