Bullet dodged…for now. October 31, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Kids , 2 commentsI just got in from going to the doctor with Soleil. I made Jay come too because I was pretty upset about it.
The doctor would prefer not to do surgery. She believes that Soleil has a very narrow tear duct opening, most likely due to the bone structure in her nose. The ducts are draining right now. IF and I repeat IF we have to do surgery, it would involve breaking the bones in her nose to make the duct wider. The doctor is very hesitant about doing this to children (as I am also). Instead, we got permission to go ahead and treat her eyes with antibiotics when ever they get red. We have a standing prescription (she gave me 1 with 3 refills) and we can call for more as needed. When ever we travel, we should have either the meds or the prescription with us.
She was very hesitant on saying this would ever clear up. There may be surgery in Soleil’s future, but not for now.
Bullet is dodged…for now.
