[tri-med] Re: sties in eyes

Holly,
Oh how I can relate to this! Matthew hasnt had sty's so the doctor said, he
said Matthews were something called chalazians (sp) but it sounds almost
what Morgan has had to deal with! Knock on wood Matthew hasnt had one in
almost a year!!! But the symptoms sound almost the same.
