Blocked Tear Duct Update

Many of you are aware of Joshua's blocked tear duct that he has had since birth.  We were hoping a simple in-office eye probe would resolve the problem, but two eye probes later, and his poor eye duct is still blocked.  Since the in-office procedures haven't provided a solution, we are moving on to the next step.  Unfortunately, the next step involves Joshua going under anesthesia, so that the doctor can insert a tiny tube into the duct.  The tube will not drain the tears, but rather train the duct to stay open.  After four months, the doctor will then remove the tube in his office.  The procedure is scheduled for Monday morning at 6:30am, and should take no more than 15 minutes.  Please keep our little guy in your prayers as he undergoes this procedure.  I think he's a little sick of doctors at this point, so he can get quite worked up.  I will send out another update on Monday to let you know how everything went.  Thanks, in advance, for your prayers.
