healthy by monday

you may have noticed, or maybe you haven't, that alaythia always looks teary. since she's been born she has had clogged tear ducts. i've learned it's very common. as baby's grow they often times just open on their own. they give kids until their 9 months old to do it naturally. well, alaythia's never did.

we have seen 2 different eye doctors. we have determined that she needs surgery. she will go completely under anesthesia and therefore needs to be completely healthy before the surgery. we have postponed this surgery once, due to illness. this new surgery is scheduled for tuesday, the 15th. and as if on cue, isaiah got sick, and then a couple days later i followed...and then alaythia.

all hope is not lost if she can rally and get better in the next few days. actually by her pre-op appointment on monday. but to be honest, it's not looking good. we really want the surgery to happen soon. the farther we get from her being a year, the harder the surgery is for her. plus, it's just plain irritating to constantly have fluid coming out of your eyes. even being the trooper that she is.

will you pray that she gets healthy before monday?
