MAY 28, 2009
Ever since Ava was born, she constantly had a blocked tear duct. Our pediatrician always told me at her checkups to massage the tear duct with my finger. I'd constantly do this, but it remained clogged. When she had a cold, her eyes were always goopy. At her 18-month check up he referred us to Dr. Hoffman, an opthamologist at Primary Children's Hospital. After seeing Dr. Hoffman, he definately recommended the blocked tear duct surgery. So on May 28, 2009, Ava had this procedure done at Primary Children's Hospital. I was a little nervous since it was the first time any of our children had been put under or had surgery. After the surgery, Dr. Hoffman told me her eyes were definately blocked and he even had to use a balloon procedure to open the ducts up more.
When the anethesiologist slowly woke her up, she was fighting & screaming for me. I still nursed her at the time, so it was good to be able to comfort her with the "na-na's" as she calls them! So grateful everything went smoothly!
