Zachary's Eye Surgery



As most of you know Zac has had a "Clogged Tear Duct' since he was born. This prevents the tears from draining properly. Instead they run out his eye and gets build up right around his eye. He had surgery when he was 1 1/2 years old, but this did not solve the problem for his right eye. We get asked a lot if he has pink eye. We finally decided to go the route of a tube being placed in his tear duct to open it up. This operation had complications however because his tear duct is so small the tube got stuck. We will go see the doctor about another option this week. At this surgery center they were so cute with Zac. After giving him the sleepy medicine which made him very giggly, they brought in a wagon with blankets of padding and a pillow. He was so excited to get a ride. I wish I had taken a picture of this, but I was so emotional to see my baby go off to have surgery. After the surgery he was so mad that he had a cast on his arm that protected the IV. Once we took that off he calmed down, but was still a little grumpy. After sleeping all morning he was back to his normal busy self when the kids came home from school. You would never had believed that he just had surgery that morning!
I do have to say that even having to go through this, we are so blessed that this is the only health problem Zac has considering his premature birth!
