first sick doctor visit

At 5 weeks old, Kaden went to the doctor for what we thought was an eye infection.  Come to find out, it was an undeveloped tear duct.  The doctor prescribed him some eye ointment and it's supposed to help.  We hope it does because the poor guy has a swollen, goopy eye until then.

Other than that... he's a healthy boy.  He weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces!  That's a big jump from a few weeks ago.  He's finally starting to get some meat on those bones!

Poor guy! Connor had a clogged duct for a long time. The ointment helps with infection, but what helped clear the duct was to use a very warm washcloth and put pressure on the duct, pushing away from the eye. We had to do this for several months when it would get clogged again. It completely cleared after about 4 months old. Hope his gets better soon!

Awwww...I didn't realize Kafen didn't feel well when I saw you today. Hope he starts feeling better soon. Hugs and kisses are the best medicine :)
