Clogged Tear Duct Update

Last Friday we took Gavin to the Ophthalmologist to get his right eye checked out for his clogged tear duct. It has been an on & off process with this eye. Most time it is normal, but there a some days a week that it will drain like crazy, will be really goopy or when he wakes up from naps he can't even open it. They first did an initial exam of the eye to see if he can follow things with it, then they dilated it. 45 minutes later, they checked his eye again & the Drs. conclusion is that is it partially clogged & that he wants to wait 6 more months to give it time to open up itself. If by the time he is 16 months & it hasn't cleared up, we need to go back & they will tube it & get it cleaned out! Lets just hope it clears itself up.
