I have mentioned previously that Lil Shauna's right eye's tear duct has been blocked since she was 3 months' old. Since then, her right eye will be clouded by discharge. Constant cleaning results in raw and swollen skin at the area around the eye. Both the NUH and private PD assured that it is normal and the private eye doctor assured that it is merely blocked eye duct, her eye is perfectly fine.
Lil Shauna was given till 1 year old. Should the duct continue to be blocked, a simple insert-a-wire-to-clear-the-blocked-duct procedure will be conducted. The private PD reminded times and again that we should massage her eye for her. During teh last check-up, the private PD warned that there will be no chance that the eye duct will clear by itself if we do not do the massage. Finally, lazy Daddy Lim and I had started to faithfully massaging the little squirmy Shauna's eye, a minimum of 120x per day. The NUH PD wanted to refer us to the eye specialist in NUH for a second opinion. The whole thing has been bothering us since day 1. Whenever I bring Lil Shauna out, I have to explain to family, friends and even strangers like a broken recorder. "No, she wasnt crying... it is blocked eye duct... yes, can only wait and see... blah... blah... blah".
We are supposed to visit the NUH eye doctor tomorrow. I noe many uncles and aunties are praying for Lil Shauna. Just on Thursday, I was still cleaning her eye for her. There was a lot of discharge. Then on Friday, when we picked her up from my mum's place, my mum said that her right eye had been exceptionally good! Then, there was no more discharge on Sat and Sun!
We are not sure if her duct has cleared by itself. We are still debating if we should still bring her to the eye doc tomorrow. Not sure if it is the result of our massage, but God has definitely answered our prayers! No more broken recorder. Hehehe.
