post op appointment

akaiya had her post op appointment yesterday morning. it did not go as well as we would have liked. her left eye where they repaired the exotropia looks great. he was really happy with that. the right eye that had the ptosis repair fell a little bit. we're hoping that it just looks that way because of swelling...fingers are crossed. she also may have rubbed her eye and pulled a stitch. ugh. other than that akaiya is doing well after surgery. i think he may have implanted another stomach in the kid because she has been eating like a truck driver! i am amazed at the amount of food this kid has been shoveling in...and she is demanding it! she yells and has her hands to her mouth until someone is filling it with something. we're hoping to put some massive weight on her!

i had to use akaiya's knee immobilizers on her arms to keep her hands away from her eyes, especially after putting medicine in...

i think her pacifier says it all...

the two pics above this one were from the day after surgery...this one is from 5 days after surgery. her incision is healing slowly but surely. and hopefully the swelling will go down soon. she scabbed up her chin by rubbing it on a rubber mat. swollen bloodshot eyes, missing teeth, scabby chin...it's amazing i haven't been questioned by anyone while we're out and about!
