Poor Brody has already faced several challenges in his short life and today was another hill to climb. When Brody was born he had blocked tear ducts... something very common in lots of babies. It basically makes for goopy wattery eyes all the time. Most of the time it clears up in the first 6 months but if it doesnt and you ignore it then it can do permanant damage to his tear ducts. Of course Brody's never cleared up so this morning we went down the Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta at the crack of dawn to have his surgery.
The surgery lasted literally 4 minutes and he was back in the room with us and it took about another 10 for him to wake up from the anestesia. We were back hame before 9am this morning and Brody is doing fine. His eyes should be all clear in the next week or so. Not really a fun morning but I am glad its over with.
Not a happy camper in his little hospital gown.
This is starting to feel like a reoccuring look for me.

wow, glad that's over with! i can't imagine having to take your little kid in for surgery...heartbreaking! thank goodness for the anesthesia so he won't remember! good to hear it all went so well.
hey, at least if you have to keep donning the hospital attire you look good doing it! and also at least the mancave construction is downstairs and out of your line of sight. because that one looks like a PROJECT! although if people are working on it during the day when you're home with the kiddos and making a bunch of noise, that's not so fun! good luck!
