Kaden and I got an early start to the day. I got him up at 6:30 and took him to the Primary Children's outpatient surgery at Riverton Hospital. He has had a clogged tear duct (CTD) which he has had since birth. We thought it cleared up when he turned a year but a few weeks after his first birthday it was green and goopy again.
Kaden was happy through the whole check in process thank goodness. You never know since he couldn't eat or drink anything but he was distracted playing with all the toys.

He had the same Anesthesiologist that Lynnlee had for her heart caths so that was fun to see a familiar face. Kaden didn't want to go with him when it was time for surgery but I handed the Anesthesiologist his blanket and Kaden went right to him.
They put a probe down his tear duct and flushed fluid through to make sure it opened. The doctor said his passage is really narrow and its possible it could close up again and he would need surgery again. I hope it just stays open. This surgery is a walk in the park compared to Lynnlee's surgeries but its so much money every time and its one more thing to deal with. When you go through the check out line at the grocery store and they ask, do you want to donate a $1 to Primary Children's today? I want to say, no, because I pay a mortgage payment to them every month.
Kaden woke up happy in the recovery room. He cuddled with me until it was time to go home. He guzzled 3 sippy cups full of juice. When we got home he took a nice long nap. When he woke up he was back to himself, climbing on everything and playing with toys.
Thanks everyone for your prayers!
