Ever since Katelyn was a new baby she has had a blocked tear duct in her left eye. After months of hoping and praying that it would clear up on it's own, we had to decide to take her to see a pediatric eye doctor. Since she was already 12 months it was highly unlikely it would heal on its own now. So the surgery was scheduled for the end of September. Even thought this was just a minor surgery I was a basket-case the day before. I was scared to have my little baby put under anesthesia.
We had to be there bright and early at six a.m. even though the surgery wasn't scheduled for 7:30. We were so concerned Katelyn would be sad and ornery since she couldn't have any food or drink before the surgery. To our great and happy surprise we found that she was very happy to play with all the new toys and other kids. I am so grateful to have Primary so close, they are so great with kids. It also made me so thankful that this was just a minor routine surgery and that there was nothing seriously wrong with Katelyn. She looked so cute in her little pj's they provided!
After the surgery she wasn't nearly has happy as before! By the time I got back to the recovery room she was screaming. I tried to nurse her, but every time she heard the nurse talk she would freak-out thinking she would take her again. It took about thirty minuets to calm her down and then about an hour after the surgery we were free to go home. We then came home and all slept for a few hours!! She woke up as if nothing had happened! She no longer has a sad weepy eye and looks as if nothing was ever wrong.
