Pediatric Ophthalmologist

We had a visit with our pediatric ophthalmologist today about Coop's plugged tear duct and everything is just fine!

Dr. Rao said that he definitely does have a plugged duct (duh!) but it would most likely clear on it's own by 12 months. We do have the option of having a probe procedure done before 8 months without anesthesiology or after 12 months with anesthesiology. They take a probe and go into his tear duct to push the clog through.

We have decided to wait. Even if it doesn't clear by 12 months this is a procedure I would much rather then do when he is asleep. I asked how they did it when he was awake and they said they wrap them up in a blanket really tight and kinda vise the head... ummmm I don't think so! Not my baby, no way, no how!

So we're waiting it out, hoping it passes on its own. Only time will tell!
