Wednesday the 10th we were in Wilmington yet again for tear duct surgery for both of Cole's eyes. He had one surgery in April but his ducts were too small for the tubes so the procedure didn't fully fix the problem. We were referred to the next specialist for a more invasive procedure. This time they probed, irrigated and then ballooned out the ducts. He was then to have tubes placed in both ducts. They got one in the right however when it came time for the left (the worse of the two) it tightened and the tube could not be inserted. He tried mulitple times but had to stop. He said this has never happened to him before. Of course it hasn't, until Cole :) He handled everything well. Had quite a bit of swelling and bruising but he returned to himself in no time and is continuing to do well. Lets just pray this fixes the problem.
Cole with his good luck froggy from Aunt Kerry and Uncle Nick. He went back with him and kept him company during surgery when we couldn't be there.
Thanks guys. He loves him.
Almost time to get this party started.
Cole with his Y's on his head. The doctor was laughing that he had to do this even though Cole was having both eyes worked on. Guess better safe than sorry.
Poor baby! This was later that afternoon. Not all the bruising had come in yet but you can see how swollen he is. He looks pitiful, but he would try so hard to smile at you and play.
He is such a good boy!

I hope this surgery fixes things!!!
In that first picture of Cole, I think he has my hair color! I don't know how he manages to smile even when his eyes are black and blue. Beautiful pictures and Grandchildren.

Poor Cole, I hope you are all fixed. There are no tear problems here at the Priechenfried house. I don't think this kid has stopped crying since the day he was born. I hope you have a very speedy recovery Cole!
