Eye Surgery

Today was the big day. We decided to get Caden's clogged tear duct opened up. We went to the hospital (CMPC - the same hospital where he was born) at 6:30 am, and his procedure was at 7:30. We had a lot of waiting to do... Chris took him back when they gave him the anesthesia mask, I don't think I could have handled that! The procedure took about 15 minutes, so around 7:50am Caden was out and waking up. I think that was the hardest part for me, watching him "come to." He was just crying, and we couldn't really comfort him as he was so confused. Poor baby! The surgery went great and our Doctor, Susan Day, was able to open up the clogged duct. His eye looks wonderful! No more tearing and goop in the mornings!
I'm so glad we had this done.

Pre-operation - having fun in the wagon!


Caden and Daddy, post operation (isn't he cute in those little scrubs?)
