Home From Surgery!

Karleigh Mei had her surgery this morning on her eye and she did really well. It was really hard to see her go back with the doctors, but she was happy and feeling good. She likes adventures. :o) She did really well when she came off of her anesthetic and had her first popsicle. Yummy! She ate the whole thing! She has a patch on her eye right now, so we have not seen the eye yet. The patch will come off tomorrow, unless she rips it off sometime today.

I took this picture of her yesterday as we were leaving the hospital after our pre-op visit.

This picture was taken this morning before her surgery. Ready for an adventure. :o(

I also took this picture this morning of her eye. It gives a pretty good look at what WAS going on with her eyelid. The part of her eyelid that did not form was actually fused to her eye. The surgery was to separate that and to bring it all the way over to make a complete one. She does have some scar tissue on her cornea that the doctor was not able to get off...it went too deeply into the cornea. He thinks that she must have had an infection on her eye when she was a baby. :o( She is down for a nap right now, but as soon as I am able, I will update with pictures of my happy, eye-patched, darling girl. Thank you for all the prayers. They were truly felt!!
