Gunky eyes and sleeping

So I took Carson to see Dr. Akrawi yesterday so he could check out his gunky eyes. They've been gunky basically since he got his 2-month immunizations, but they got a little better, then worse again now. I just kept assuming he'd inherited Kevin's allergies this time of year, since the doc had mentioned it was possible before. Well, it turns out he has immature tear ducts that are clogged and now slightly infected. Poor baby! :( So we have to put eye drops in for five days to see how they do. Also have to massage his inner eye and down his nose a few times a day until we're told otherwise. If they continue to have problems at age six months, he said he'd have to send us to an eye specialist to see about surgically unclogging them. I surely hope that it doesn't come to that!!

I'm happy to say that Carson has slept through the night completely for the last two nights. We'll see if it continues, or if its just a fluke thing. He's been going to bed and then sleeping until 4:00am yesterday morning and until 5:30am this morning. So 8.5 hours Sunday night and 9.5 hours last night!! Now, this won't be considered through the night on a weekend for us, but we're up at 4am every morning during the week, so it is through the night for us during the week, at least.
