Did I forget to mention?

About a week after Ava was born we realized her tear ducts were clogged. Months and months went by and they stayed runny and sometimes oozed. Finally, in June, I went to a pediatric ophthalmologist for a consultation. He did a few tests and then told me that if it hadn't cleared up by the time she was 11 months then she would need to come in for a "procedure" (which meant binding her in this baby cocoon thing and using a small tube like needle to push through the tear duct and clean it out!) This is actually somewhat common and they can do it in office...but I wanted to avoid it as long as possible! Thankfully, through God's goodness, Ava's eyes cleared up about a week after seeing the Dr. Chris and I were so relieved! She's been good ever since!

Praise the Lord!
