Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi Beth: How did you prepare/explain your daughther's surgery to her? I have a 4 year old with BPES. She had her first sling surgery when she was 9 months old. One of the slings has come loose and we are to go see her surgeon on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure that they will schedule the " big " surgery (as I call it) where they do the inner corners of her eyes - epincathus (sp), as they were planning to do that next year anyway. She has started asking questions about her eyes and I'm trying to give her simple explanations - like you were born with small eyes and the drs had to make them bigger, etc. I want to prepare her, but not scare her for what is to come. She is a very bright little girl who catches on very quickly. Just wondering if you had any advice since your daughter is around the same age as mine and you have just been thru this.
