Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 My baby is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow to fix her eyes. She is having two procedures – one on the upper lids (Frontalis sling), and one on the lower lids to roll her eyelashes out and off of her eyes. It is out-patient surgery, and if all goes well, we will be home tomorrow evening. She has no idea that anything is going on, and of course, I am a nervous wreck. According to other parents whose kids have had this done, it requires a lot of sedation to work on a kid's eyes. I just hope she reacts well to it. She has been so unbelievably healthy that I really don't know how she reacts to medication. The only thing I've ever given her is a dose or two of Tylenol and some cough medicine! I hate to change a thing about that perfect little face. But, it is medically necessary. And, afterwards she will be able to see like she's never seen before. I know some of you understand my ambivalence. Of course I want what's best for her, and I'd do anything to improve her vision, but I hate that I have to change her face in order to do that. Big sigh! I'll be blogging about the process if anyone wants to follow along. Donna http://www.everything-elizabeth.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
