Holt's Eye Surgery

For those of you who don't know, Holt has had a clogged tear duct since he was born. We were hoping and praying he would outgrow it, but unfortunately he did not, so he had to have it surgically fixed. It has been a long journey of eye infections and eye issues, so I am glad to finally have relief for Holt. And praise the Lord for an awesome opthmalogist who loving and carefully took care of our little man. He even had his sister do Holt's anesthesia! And she was awesome too!
We went in for surgery last Wednesday morning at 6:30 am. We filled out all the paperwork, and they took him back about 7:30 am. Thankfully, he was so distracted that he did not even notice he was getting nothing to eat or drink. The surgery went great. They were able to open up the duct with two different wires without any difficulties. And a huge answer to prayer was the fact that they did not have to leave anything in. He is on an antibiotic and eye drops for a week, and then we go in for a follow up appointment in a couple days. His eye looks great, and apart from the bloody nose and a little fussiness he hasn't had many issues. So thanks to all for your sweet prayers on his and our behalf!
