Wait and See

Hello! I wanted to let everyone know I made it through my double eye surgery on Friday with flying colors! The anatomy looks great, in a couple weeks Dr. Cassidy will be able to tell if my brain has recognized the rewire and started using my eyes together.  The surgery success rate is 80%, so we are keeping our fingers crossed.  Since I have already been part of the 20% on my first go around (three years ago), I am due for a win! I was a model patient, as per usual, but Mom says watching me come out of general anesthesia is not pleasant for her and my Dad!  For now, I have to put medicine in my eyes twice a day, make sure to wear my sunglasses, and let my parents know if I have any pain. From there, we just wait and see.

 Here I am with my Dad before the surgery...he got to come back with me to the 

"penguin room" where I went to sleep!

 Mom only cried a little, I was pretty impressed!

 Here I am with my dog Goldie before surgery, I had all the nurses laughing too!

 Day two post-op.  Dr. Cassidysaid my eyes will be red and sore for a couple of weeks.  

The muscles on each of my eyes have been repositioned in an attempt to keep them aligned. 

Here I am three years ago right before surgery...a little bit of a difference, huh?

Thanks for all of your well wishes, I will be in touch!
