Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hi Trish... my Alice had 1st surgery on 13th in this month, (suspension) and doctor treatments are the same. The first 3 days, I had no problem in drops, but now ( and Alice is very little.. 5 1/2 months)it is becoming really difficult... I can understand you, because when I lie down Alice, and try to touch delicatly her eyes she starts crying and became very complicated put drops in her eyes. Now I try in this way: I lie down Alice, and place few drops fastly on the inner corner of her eye and I wait for the time she opens her eyes.In this way drops fall inside. I really don't know if could be effective in your case. I hope. I would like to thanks everyone for the encouragement and affection. Wish you all have a wonderful Christmas and many love in the new Year.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi Trish, Glad you got to stop the drops for now. Micah doesn't like it when we have to use those either. Someone (a mom on here I think) did give me a good tip about the ointment- put it in your pocket about 10 min before you have to use it and it gets just warm enough that it is MUCH easier to put in. I do Micah's at night before bed and he gets to pick which eye we do first. Somehow that makes it better.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hi Trish, clare and emy from UK here - wow I remember this well!! we just felt dreadful, especially after all they have been through. The only we we dealt with it was via advice by my mother-in-law, (she has 5 children and 14 grandchildren) was just do it, no fuss, matter a fact, it has to be done and the more we fussed and worse the whole situation got. My daughter was 4 too, it is a really difficult age too, emy seemed too little to completely understand why and a lot stronger to fight us off. The other tip is too put it in the outer corner rather than in the middle, they dont watch it coming then. Good luck.....
