Surgery was SUCCESSFUL!

Everything went so well yesterday, in fact, the surgeon said better than he had expected! Abby is now recovering at home and a little groggy but otherwise doing very well. We feel a dark cloud has been lifted from us. Dr. Larsen said it seemed that this is something that has happened spontaneous in the development of her eye and there were no evident signs of trauma. This is the best news because it means she has such a great chance to have her sight fully restored in that eye. We will be back at Primary Children's today for a follow up an then see Dr. Larsen next Tuesday. She will be fitted for glasses in about 4 weeks but should have some restored sight in as early as one week when the bandadges are removed. For now, we are driving her crazy with drops and creams in that eye every two hours. That is hard for us and especially for her right now but we know it is part of the healing process. We greatly appreciate all of the love, support and prayers everyone has sent our way as of late. I'll upload some photos soon!

We are so happy that everything is going well! That must be so hard to do the eye drops so often. See you soon! PS I FINALLY sent off that night gown today!
