My poor little Rebecca had to have surgery today! Okay, it sounds a lot worse then it really was, but I was still nervous about it. She finally got her tear ducts properly opened up. This child has been the goopiest little baby - there's always goo coming out of her eyes because her tear ducts never opened up like they were supposed to when she was a baby. Anyway, the protocol at my pediatrician's office is to wait till they're a year old and then refer them to an eye specialist. I guess this problem usually takes care of itself by then, but for Becca it didn't. It was a really simple procedure but they had to put her to sleep to do it, which made me a little uneasy. But Becca did just great! I'm glad it's over and poor Becca can avoid having her mother poke at her eyes all day trying to keep them clean. We went to see Hancock over the weekend with Aubree and Craig - it was an alright movie - I'd say I was just as satisfied with it as I was with Indiana Jones... it got a little weird in parts with an unexpected turn in the plot, but it was definitely entertaining and very funny. I still want to see Hulk (even though that was on my original list of "do not see's" - I hear that it's actually really good) and Get Smart and I'm excited for Dark Knight to come out soon... too many movies and I'm running out of money!
Today Ben officially started up his 4th year and is doing a critical care rotation at the VA in Phoenix for the month. Does that mean that summer is already over?! What a bummer!
Awww, poor Becca! I'm glad it went well.
ReplyDeleteWe went to see Get Smart last night, I thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed out loud in many parts!
It's starting to feel a bit lonely around here these days. We should get together once my Family leaves!
Becca will be glad that you don't have to squeeze and wipe her eyes for her anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be a big Movie lover.
Your aunt Debera gave me a blockbuster gift card for my birthday. She gave enough to entertain us for a few weekends.
No matter how small or minor the surgery may be, its still our babies and that is cause enough to feel scared and uneasy. Glad she is doing well and I know that she will be very glad to have Mommy's fingers out of her eyes.
ReplyDeletePoor little thing! Any kind of surgery is the pits!! She's super cute though!! I REALLY wanted to see Hancock but it got terrible reviews so I'm thinking we will just wait until it's out on DVD. I CAN'T wait for The Dark Knight though!! I can't believe our hubbies are 4th years!! Time flies!!
ReplyDeleteAh the VA - Cameron did a rotation there and had an interesting time. We saw Hancock over the weekend as well. Definitely one that I'd see once and then never again. Glad to hear Becca got through her procedure okay and that you guys are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Becca is doing better, she will never recall this when she is 14.
