We decided to have Lucy's eye surgery on December 15, 2011. I was due with baby Ian on November 10th, and we were thinking at least he'd be a month old before I would have to take care of a child that just had surgery. I was so nervous about it, thinking it was going to a huge repeat of her head surgery. I really shouldn't have been worried! It went so quickly and easily and then the recovery was just that she was kind of out of it and cranky for the rest of the day, but she didn't even really try to rub her eyes. We had to put ointment in her eyes for a week and they were really bloodshot and a little swollen the weekend after the surgery. The funniest part was that they gave her like a "happy drink" before taking her back to surgery that just made her really relaxed and calm and she started to giggle at everything and slur her words a little bit. We captured it on video and we like to watch it occasionally. Here's some pictures of the day.
Arriving at the hospital at 6:00am! She doesn't know the difference!

A few weeks post-surgery. Don't her eyes look great?
