Today i am thinking that possibly the "clot" was actually from Chrissie's nose..! I have been massaging the tear duct as my GP suggested and today it seems to have cleared up! This morning when she woke up her eye was pretty much clear, just a little crusty bit on the side! ALL day it has been as clear as yours or mine!! It has NEVER been like that!! And where i normally massage there used to be a hard lump.. now there isn't!
