Perhaps you have noticed that our Ruby has an infected right eye A LOT of the time???  Or perhaps I only post pictures of her that aren’t so noticeable?  Either way our little girl is having surgery in the morning for a blocked tear duct.  We knew it was coming.  Eventually.  For months and months now we have been waiting, hoping for it to unblock all on its own.  To no avail.  So at 6:15 tomorrow morning we are reporting to the children’s hospital to have it taken care of.  The procedure itself is supposedly super simple, but the anesthesia part of it has me nervous.  It’s times like these that it’s hard being a parent.  As a mother I’m responsible for my babies, teaching them, and keeping them safe.  Tomorrow morning I won’t be in complete control of the situation.  I’m entrusting my child in the hands of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff.  St. Louis Children’s Hospital is a top notch facility and all involved are fully capable.  I have faith in that fact, but it’s still scary.  Most of all I’m looking forward to her being well.  Kids are resilient and I’m sure she will bounce back really fast!

Please keep our baby girl in your thoughts and prayers.  Thank you!
