Liam's Tear Duct Surgery

This morning Liam had tear duct surgery.  Our babysitter stayed over last night after her weekly date with Liam so she could be here and ready to go at 5:30am!  She is so good to us!  Liam, David and I headed out the door then and were to the hospital by 6:10.  We got checked in, had his vitals taken and hung out in the room trying to keep Liam happy since he wasn't allowed to eat breakfast.  The doctor came in, talked to us and answered our questions.  The best news he gave us was that they would not be putting Liam under-an answer to my prayers!  (He had told me they would be if he was over 25 pounds but they never weighed him, fine by me!)  Anyways, David and I were sent out of the room.  The whole surgery took 5, maybe 10 minutes.  When we got back he was wrapped like a burrito and crying a little bit.  He settled down as soon as we gave him a bottle and it's been smooth sailing since then.  After all was said and done we said it was more like a procedure and that the word surgery was too big and scary for what actually happened but hey, we're not the ones naming these things!  The first picture is from yesterday, just to show how gunky his eye gets.  The rest are from today.
