Jackson had to go into the hospital for eye surgery today. Since birth he has had a closed tear duct, which has been zero fun to deal with! I can't even count on my two hands how many eye infections the poor guy has gotten because he has had so many because of the closed duct, well hopefully we will never have to deal with it again! The surgery is a success 9 out of 10 times, so the odds are in our favor! :) We couldn't let him eat 12 hours before the surgery and we had to wake him up 3 hours before he usually wakes...so he was a grumpy grumpy boy who wanted his bottle!! There were several other children there for the same surgery, but Jackson had the hardest time with it. He had a bloody eye and nose, and could not stop crying! The nurse even gave him a popsicle which made him fell better (for as long as the popsicle lasted) I felt so bad, I hate it when my kids hurt and I can't do anything to help them. While we were waiting for the surgery we took Jackson to the play room where he played with the fun, new toys and the other children. He seemed to forget all about his hunger while there! :) They had to put him under for the surgery...so he's pretty tired today!
