Tear Ducts and Veggie Patties




Mabel had an appointment with Dr. Rabiah, her pediatric ophthalmologist, this week. Everything was fine. He okay'd us laying off of the patch, which was a great relief to Mabel. She is still battling a clogged tear duct which she has had since birth. There's a chance it will clear up on its own, but if it doesn't by this summer, she'll have to have a minor surgery to correct it. Here's hoping it pops open on its own.

We're working to have Mabel eat what we're eating whenever possible. For some reason, I find it scary giving her anything that isn't pureed. Tonight's dinner was a big hit - some veggie chick'n patties and rice. She loved it and actually fed herself, for the most part.

And, some VERY exciting news. Mabel had a new friend enter her life today. Our dear friends, Brooke and John, welcomed little Nora to the world this morning. She's a little peanut. Only 5 lbs. 6 oz. Mabel can't WAIT to meet her.
