One Week Post Op

Today Eva is one week post op and she's healing up very nicely!
The above photo was taken the morning of surgery, and below is how she's looking today:
We're so happy to see more of her beautiful brown eyes!!

Each site appears to be healing well and although she still has some swelling, mainly in the left eye, it looks better each and every day.  It could take a few months before she's able to blink or close her eyes but she's handling that like a trooper; we'll continue to keep them moist with medication.  The only time she cries is when we have to put the medicine in, but even knowing what's fixing to happen, she still hops up on the bed when it's time to do so.

Other than being a little strange for us to check on her while she's sleeping and see her eyes open, it doesn't seem to bother her.  Just the other night before going to bed she asked me if she could close her eyes to sleep and I said that I didn't think so.  She tried to do so by scrunching up her face and quickly realized that she couldn't, so with an "oh well" she laid down and went to sleep!!

We went for our post op appointment yesterday and will go back in 3 months to see if the surgery was a success as far as in correcting her astigmatisms. 

We're so proud of our very brave little girl and thank you all for the prayers!!
