Never Ending

Friday afternoon, we had an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist.  Since birth, Cecilia has problems with her eyes watering.  We figured out very early that her tear ducts were clogged but were told she could grow out of it.  Well she didn't.  So off to the ophthalmologist we went.

 

We've talked about going to the doctor for a couple weeks to prepare C for what was going to happen.  I knew it wasn't going to be dramatic but I still like to prepare her so she isn't surprised.  All that talking must have worked because she did fantastic.

 

 

She had a little eye exam where she got to wear a few different kinds of cool shades.  We learned she has excellent vision (yeah!!! She's not blind as a bat like her daddy!!).

 

The only thing she got a little dramatic about was getting her eyes dilated.  She didn't dare cry in front of the nurse but she made it clear it hurt her feelings.  HA!  She got over it quick.

 

We met with the doctor, who is a twin sister to my sister in law-they were just separated at birth.  Seriously, as soon as she walked in, I immediately thought of my SIL.  It was like I was in the twilight zone.  Brent thought the same thing!

 

Anyway, Dr. Flemmons was so sweet and WONDERFUL with Cecilia.  She was super friendly and C took right up to her.  She confirmed what we already knew (clogged ducts) and told us our options, the main one being surgery.  It's a no brainer for us because A. how annoying to constantly have tears run down your face and B. kids bounce back a lot better than adults.

 

We feel like it is never ending with her but hey, that's the joys of having kids.
