Kryz Uy and Slater Young's 7-week-old son Sevi to undergo hernia repair surgery
Kryz Uy and Slater Young just got informed that their seven-week-old baby, Sevi, has an inguinal hernia and has to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
Kryz revealed her son's condition in a vlog on Sunday.
"Unfortunately, we discovered that Sevi has [an] inguinal hernia and it needs to be operated on," the mother of two said.
"Whenever he cries, it triggers the hernia to bulge out and I know he's not supposed to experience pain when that happens but it still hurts my heart to see it," she added.
According to Web MD, inguinal hernia is a condition when a "piece of your intestine pokes through a weak spot in your abdominal muscles near your groin."
Kryz said hernia is "not a rare disease" and their doctors expressed confidence about the operation despite Sevi being just a little over a month old.
"I keep telling myself that I can't be the mentally praning, scatter-brained mom. I have to be present and I have to be strong for Sevi," the 32-year-old said.
Kryz and Slater welcomed Sevi, their second child in May. Their older son, Scott, is two years old.
