Surgery time!!!

Katelyn has had a clogged tear duct for quite some time now. After meeting with a specialist and waiting for it go away on it's own we finally decided to have surgery to fix it. It obviously wasn't getting better on it's own. I was a bit nervous about her having the surgery because they would be putting her completely under with anesthesia. But I felt it was what needed to be done to solve the problem. Luckily surgery was scheduled while my mom was on spring break from work so she spent the night with us so that John and I could get up super early and head to the hospital. Katelyn did a great job waiting her turn and we enjoyed the one on one time we got with her.  The surgery went really well. The clog was worse then the doctor had hoped so she had to put a stint in. 
Katelyn woke up groggy and grumpy and was pretty clingy for the rest of the day but recovered great!!!! By the next day she was back to her normal self!!!
 And her eye is back to normal. No more unnecessary tearing!!! Hooray!!!!
The doctor had use a permanent marker to mark over the eye that she was going to do surgery on. You can see it in the photo on the right. It took me two days of scrubbing to get the marker off.  I guess it's better than operating on the wrong eye!
