He had his 1 week follow up Monday and they thought he looked almost 100%! <br />We are waiting for them to call back with a date to take care of his clogged tear ducts, which might have been the cause in the first place.<br /><br />He's potty training now...or, ummmm, I am doing it. He went through 5 pairs of Spider Man undies yesterday but had success right before bed!! <br />Put him on the potty after supper and gave him chocolate milk, he sat there while he watched a few cartoons, then I read to him, for an HOUR. I left him to go get him a bedtime snack<br />and while I was getting it, he yelled, "I go ta ta" (Which is "Potty")!<br /><br />Must have needed that privacy! Ha!<br /><br /><br />Thanks for asking!
