Some of you know that our little JoJo was born with a clogged tear duct that has never opened. As a result, she usually has a teary eye, that while harmless, gets a little annoying. We are preparing for Jolee to have her tear duct corrected this Thursday. It's a fairly simple procedure that will take about an hour. Our doctor is wonderful and very experienced. The hard part is that she will have to a have a plastic stint placed through her tear duct, down her nasal passage, out her nostril, back up through the other nostril and finally through the other tear duct. This tube makes a continuous loop through her nose and eyes and will have to be left in place for about a month. The idea is that the tear duct will heal around the tube, allowing it to remain open. We have faith that all will go smoothly during the procedure and that Jolee will ultimately have her tear duct healed, but we are asking all of you family and friends to keep her in your prayers as she goes through this. We know that Heavenly Father will keep her safe, and we are grateful for your prayers and support. We will try to keep you all posted on how it goes. Love to you all!
P.S. I love these pics of Jolee. You just have to look past the chocolate smudges on her face.
