Another Dr added to the list

Thursday Tony and I had to take Riley to the opthamologist....a visit we were hoping to avoid but unfortunately Riley's eye still seems to be goopy and runny so we were referred to a pediatric opthamologist. So, after working a late night, Me and my boys got up and headed to Mesa for his 8:40 am appointment. I don't even wake up at 6:30 to go to work and I worked until 10 pm the night before so I really didn't get that much sleep. It's very difficult to fall asleep after working a day in the er which happened to a busy day.
Anyways, after sleepily making the drive we saw the opthamologist. He was very nice and did confirm that Riley has a clogged tear duct that will need to be opened up surgically unfortunately. Unfortunately, he cannot do it at the same time as when Riley's palate is fixed as Cardon's hospital does not allow inpt eye surgery that can be done outpt. It literally is a very short procedure....about 5 minutes but will have to be put all the way under via a mask so no intubation which is good. The good thing is that the opthamologist said that Riley's eyes look great and no problems yet have been spotted which is something we were nervous about as Tony and his side of the family have eye problems. Tony had to have a surgery when he was 4 to realign his eys.
Tony is such a wonderful husband. He set up a surprise babysitter for Thursday night so we could have a date night. He was a little nervous because on Monday moring I got really sick and started vomiting at like 2 in the morning. There was absolutely no warning what so ever. I felt fine all day on Sunday at work. I only got about 3 hours of sleep and had to be back to work at 8 Monday morning. I did go thinking I must have eaten something bad but then I got very achy and could hardly sit or stand still because my body hurt so bad. I spent all night on the couch on Monday and threw up everything I ate and felt horrible Tuesday but luckally was keeping food down at that point. By Thursday I felt fine like nothing happen and we were able to go on our date. We went to Chilis and then went to Harry Potter. I liked it but Tony only thought it was so so. It was a romantic gesture since we don't get out much alone lately. I'm excited to have grandpa and grandma back down for the winter so they can babysit :)
Only about 1/2 weeks for our first vacation as a family....a road trip up to WA and ID to visit family and friends!
