Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Wow, since I've been here last a few months ago there seem to have been a huge increase in people and mail. That's great! I've already learned some new things just scanning the mail...and thanks for sharing your pics, everyone! We have some we would be glad to share too. Our son, , had his 2nd frontalis suspension surgery in November at 8 mos. old (his first was at 3 mos. since his eyes only could open 1 mm). He grew so fast the strings from his first surgery stretched out and one of his lids started drooping. Anyway, he's been rubbing his eyes a lot and our doctor just confirmed he has very dry eyes. He's rubbed them to the point where these last few days the crease in his eyelid (where the strings are sewn underneath) has been bleeding bright, red blood. We bought Lacrilube on the doc's reccomendation to keep his eyes moist, and am supposed to update the doc monday on 's progress. I'm just a little anxious...its such a fight getting the ointment in his eyes and he is very persistent about rubbing them. And I don't quite understand where the bleeding is coming from, since I don't see a scratch, and it seems to be seeping from the eyelid crease. Surgery was 11/19 and I would think everything has healed up pretty much by now. Can someone explain this to me? We already had one infection from one of the incisions above his eyebrow, I hope we don't have another one. Thanks, Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
