Poor little guy

Yesterday afternoon Allison noticed that Caleb's eye was starting to get a little "gunky". After blotting his eye with a warm wash cloth several times throughout the day, we decided that it wasn't getting any better. Allison took him to the doctor today to find that he has an infected tear duct. No fun at all for him but he should be okay within the next couple of days. Now we get the joy of putting drops in his eye and "encouraging" his tear duct which consists of gently massaging his already painful eye. Pray for Allison as she has to do this alone while I'm at work. She is doing an amazing job but watching Caleb cry all day in pain is certainly wearing on the nerves.

The joys of parenthood!!

Glad it's at least leaking and not completely closed like his cousin! Totally normal for tear ducts to do that! He'll be better before ya know it!
