So Griffin is now 22 months old. And the bump keeps getting bigger. I'm now concerned! I take him to the family Doctor, (not my usual family Doctor as he just retired) the family Dr made me feel like a "worry wart" mom and sent me home with my tail between my legs, again, I was told it was a sty and to put hot compresses on it and not to worry.

I'm really worried at this point. The bump is not "angry" like a sty or any other infection usually looks. Its not pus filled or red. Its just a bump, that is growing at a rapid rate.

My Mum is desprete to get answers and makes a plea to her eye doctor. He gets us in that day, on his lunch hour. He examines Griffin. He agrees with me that its not a typical sty (again, no redness, infection, pus,etc) He thinks its a type of sty (called a chalson, or something like that) where an eyelash pore sills with fluid (no infection) He again tells us to use hot compresses and it could take up to SIX months to heal!!!

Two days later, I called his office in tears. The lump had grown again over night, it was now pushing down on the eyeball so the eyes were no longer on the same plane. I insisted on seeing the eye doctor again. Again, he saw us on his lunch hour. He came out to the waiting room to get us. I will never forget the look on his face when Griffin turned and looked at him. It was a mix of shock and horror. He quickly recovered and turned around and told the receptionist to call the eye specialist in town. There was a quick series of phone calls, paperwork being faxed and we were rushed out the door. I went to work for my swing shift, My husband Marty and my Mum took him to the specialist appt. Griffin was sent to Niagara Falls General Hospital from there. He was admitted directly to the peads dept. I left work on Dec 6/11 in a panic in the middle of my shift, not to return for over 2 years...
