Surgery

We went to the eye doctor this morning for Cruz and he's scheduled to have surgery on June 11th. The doctor said there is a duct in his nose that has been blocked since he was born. Both of his tear ducts should run down to this duct in his nose so since it's blocked he always has watery eyes and gunk in them because it has no where else to go besides out the eyes. 90% of babies are born with this but most of them open up on their own by the time they are 2 months old. He said the surgery is really quick, I can be back in the room when they put him under to keep him calm and then the procedure only takes 15 minutes and we can go right back in the room with him for recovery. We'll keep everyone posted once it gets closer to June.
