DS is having tear duct surgery tomorrow

[Ashley&Scott]

DS is having tear duct surgery tomorrow morning. He has a clog which has caused frequent eye infections. I am glad they're doing the surgery now at 5 months, poor guy has been on 4 different eye drops in the last month. (typically they like to wait until at least 9 months to operate)

We can't feed him after midnight, I have a feeling it will be a very rough night, he normally nurses at 1, 4 & 7am. We plan to wake him at 11:45 for one last feeding. We have to check in at 6 am.

I know this is a very routine surgery but I'm still nervous.

((hugs)) i'm sure he'll be fine! I think SarahLindsey's daughter had this surgery (maybe twice?) as well.

Thanks guys.

Chessie- it's hereditary apparently. I had the surgery & so did my mom.

Good luck. My son had it done I barely had time to sit down in the waiting room and they called us back that he was done.

Good luck but I'm sure neither of you will need it.

I have heard the same as well. Funny, my doctor thought I needed to get another surgery to clear out my ducts soon since it was causing issues again. Its much different as an adult though apparently, more down time.

Good luck! I hope the feeding schedule works out and it's over before you know it.
