Health Problems…

Recently, Rachel has been having problems with her eye. She has had irritation and excessive watering in her right eye. We recently took her to the doctor and he said that it looked like Rachels right tear duct was blocked but, he did not know for sure. He referred us to another doctor who specializes in this type of problem. We are setting up an appointment to see him and possibly get Rachel’s eye duct probed. Hopefully all will go well and Rachel’s tear duct will be flushed or the problem with relieve itself. If the duct can not be flushed Rachel will have to have surgury to create a new tear duct in her eye.

Please pray that God would have his hand on Rachel and that whatever prolems arise would be resolved and Rachel will not need surgery.

    I have been trying to find info on my recovery and I came across your web site, I had a totally blocked tear duct and though I hear it is not that bad for some people, after having the surgery 3 weeks ago, at this point I would still say don’t have it. Although the surgery itself is not bad (because you don’t know it) I am still swollen on both sides, I can feel the tube in my eye all the time and my face still feels numb. I am praying it will get better and be worth it and I am not trying to scare you because at the time I had to do something and from what I have heard some people heal a lot more quickly i am just saying I thought i was in perfect health when I had it done and I have had a rough time so be prepared.
