Today Tom and I took Adelie to her annual appointment with the ophthalmologist.  He'd like to get a good look at her right eye to serve as a baseline.  He wants to do an ultrasound of her eyes while she'll be under anesthesia.  During this, she'll also have her tear ducts probed and irrigated - both her eyes have always been extra wet...she often has "tears" running down her cheeks from this - she's not crying, it's just her obstructed tear ducts.  This would be reason itself to do the whole proceedure, but he really wants the ultrasound and then he's just going to do this too.
Here's a website about the tear duct obstruction: http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/eyes/tear_duct_obstruct_surgery.html#
This will be done as out patient surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital at a date to be determined.
