Giana's tear duct is still clogged/closed. It's very common in babies and should be totally gone by 6 months old. We decided to wait until a year to see if it would correct it's self without surgery. It has not. It did seem to be better during the warmer weather this past summer but now that it's really really cold it's alot worse. So yesterday I broke down and called to set up an appointment with the surgeon at the health campus. It's not until March 9th, and it's just the consultation. And from a friend's experience it's a fairly easy surgery that only takes 15 minutes or so but they still need anesthesia. A huge concern is the money. Such an easy common surgery but I'm hearing that it's about $5000! Yes, you heard that right! Gosh, I'm pretty sure we are all in the wrong profession. So we are just asking prayers that Giana's eye would completely heal in the next month, or Lord willing the surgery be done and be successful, painless and that it would be covered by our insurance. Thanks everyone. Here is a link if your curious...
