Lil Shauna's Bad Eye

Lil Shauna's right eye duct is still blocked. her next review with the eye doc is about a week away. Basically, there is nothing that the doc can do (I think) but to advise us to constantly clean her eye of discharge and to make sure that it is merely blocked duct and nothing else. We will have to wait patiently until she turns one. If it is still blocked then, the insert-wire-to-clear-duct procedure will take place. Ouch. I do hope that her duct will self-clear by then.

Recently, the discharge has been bad. When I brought her to Joshua's bday party on 31 Dec 08, I had to keep repeating that it is blocked eye duct thus the loads of discharge. I felt like a bad mummy and a broken recorder. Haiz.

Her eye has been very bad these few days. I had to resort to using the strong eye drop containing steroid. Lil Shauna has also grown cleverer. She knows it when we come with the cotton and will squirm, turn left & right and hit/ push our hand away, making it difficult to wipe her eye. It gets even trickier when we try the eye drop. It takes alot of distracting and most importantly luck to get the eye drop into her eye. She even knows how to close one eye now. Faint.

The area around the eye has turned red and swollen. We are not sure if it is bcos of the discharge eating into the tender flesh or due to the constant wiping. It is probably not as painful as it seems cos she doesnt fuss or cry, but it pains us like mad. My Mum even suggested us to bring her to the eye doc today, but I dun see what the doc can do to make it better. Well, it is a wait and see game.


Her poor eye is all red & puffy. It looks much worse then the pix. Dear uncles and aunties, pls pray for Lil Shauna, for the bad eye to go away and that the duct will open by itself so that we dun have to go thru' the awful procedure. Lil Shauna will reward you all with her famous saliva-filled muaks.
