Not-So-Fun Friday
Sweet Caroline has had a sty on her eyelid for about 6 months now. We think it started as an ingrown eyelash (because she has thick ones like her Dad), but neither us nor the eye doctor has been able to do much to make it go away. So tomorrow, it's being surgically removed. Because it's on her eye, they have to use anesthesia to keep her calm. I've been put under before and so has Tristan. Both of us were just fine, but still; I will feel much better when this is all over with tomorrow morning. (And yes, I know I've just spent more time typing about how worried I am than my kiddo is likely to spend getting the thing removed-but it's a mother's perogative to worry and between this and her having RSV at 5 weeks-old; this little one has given me plenty of occasion to do just that.)

How'd she do? I used to get styes all the time when I was little. I had a chalazion removed when I was about her age too. You know, none of the doctors I went to as a kid believed in anesthesia (sp?). [I still find it hard to swallow that my kids get laughing gas for a lousy filling.] I was numbed but awake. My dad thought he was going to be my rock for me, but he about passed out watching it. All I remember is seeing him sitting in the corner looking dazed LOL

Jennifer-She did just fine. She was sleepy the day of, and cranly the day after; and now she's pretty much recovered except for a dissolvable stitch in her eyelid.
I'm LOL at the memory of your dad. Dave would have been fine (had we been allowed in with her), but I would have been just like him.
