Hey Amy and Jenn... sounds like your kids have Blepharitis like Russell did.. where his eyes would get clogged and gunky like you are discribing. I was calling every week and saying he had Pink Eye.. until they told me it wasn't that.. and it was Blepharitis. He still has it but not as much. We used drops for a long time.
Sherri, do you think Jared has Amblyopia a bit and that is why you had 2 muscle surgeries? Just curious...
A.

Our 7 year old daughter Savannah had the surgery on both eyes 2 years ago. All went well. The frist and 3rd day were the worst and she hated the drops. If you wish send me an e-mail at my personal e-mail address and I will send you a picture of before and after. It was well worth it. She also patched for 2 years. Now she has to wear glasses.

Amy, Patrick had the blocked tear ducts for quite some time when he was little, as did my older son, Connor, briefly. Connor grew out of his by about 5 months, but Patrick only grew out of one by about one year. The other had to have surgery to open it up and our eye doctor did the surgery in conjunction with out ENT doing ear tubes.....so only out one time. It was so wonderful to not have to clean that gunk out very few hours.....it always makes them look so much like little thrown away kittens I always thought. You both will enjoy it so to be done with it, I promise.

I know that when they do the surgery and clean her ducts at the same time it will be a blessing. Everywhere Natalie and I go I always get the same thing..."o! why is your daughter crying?" . I have to explain that she is not that she just has clogged tear ducts. The more I hear about this surgery the more I am looking forward to having it done. So far everything that has been done to Natalie as far as medical attention has turned out to be a blessing. I thank everyone so much for easing my mind. I tell you what this website is the best thing that I have come accross. It is like going to support meetings everyday...I always feel great after visiting. Thanks everyone for everything Have a great day! Amy
