Nasolacrimal duct probing part 2 (picture heavy!)

Lillian's surgery went off without a hitch!  Thank you everyone for thinking and praying for us that day!  It may have been a minor surgery, but it still had me shaking in my shoes.  It's never fun to have to see your kid wake up from anesthesia and they are scared.  That was the hardest part of the entire 10 minute procedure!

Her post op appointment went well.  The doc was really pleased with her eyes.  In fact, one of her therapist today noticed a change already.  We are all kinda shocked that her eyes are doing so well in a short amount of time!

I did want to say that the nurses and staff at the hospital were TERRIFIC!  They treated Lillian like a superstar that morning.  When we arrived and they wanted me to put her gown on her, there was the sweetest little teddy bear on her bed, just waiting.  It was a very nice gift from the hospital. One of the nurses even brought a wagon and gave her a ride down the hall!

And another great surprise!  Today in the mail, Lillian got a card from the nurses and doctors who worked with her.  I'm not sure if all hospitals do that, but it was really nice of them to do so.  They all signed it too!

Nasolacrimal duct probing

or otherwise known as tear duct probing, is what Lillian will have tomorrow morning (May 11, 2010) at 7:30 a.m.

She has a wet or watery right eye, which isn't terribly bad nor painful, but it is something that needs to be taken care of so she doesn't develop any infections later down the road.  This watery eye is something that is pretty common with some kiddos with Down syndrome.

It's not major surgery or life threatening...but she will be put under anesthesia.  So, from one blogger to another,  mom to mom, friend to friend...I just ask for positive thoughts and lots of prayers our way.  Just ask that the doctor has steady hands!

Will update tomorrow!
