That’s a mouthful, isn’t it???
Today, Cody is going to Children’s Hospital to get Bilateral Nasolacrimal Duct probing.
Ever since he was a baby his eyes have watered constantly. I am not sure if this is common with children with Down Syndrome or if it is his unfortunate genes that he inherited from me (I was supposed to get the procedure done when I was 18, but still haven’t. Maybe after he gets his done I will be brave enough to get mine done, too! LOL)
According the doctor, the procedure is fairly quick and painless. Majority of the 1 hour surgery time allotted will be Cody getting put to sleep and waking up. That’s the part that I always hate. I can’t be there when they do it and I hate not knowing what is going on. The control-freak in me comes out when it comes to this kind of stuff!
We have anxiously been waiting for this procedure to happen. For various reasons, it has been cancelled 3 times! The 4th time is a charm, right? (I know it is supposed to be 3rd, but because I’m his mom I get to make up my own rules! HEEHEE)
The benefit of having the procedure done is that his eyes will hopefully be tear free! I know that sometimes the procedure has to be done more than once to be effective, but I am hoping for a one-shot deal! :)
