Meeting "Besty" the puppet
Holding my "hospital bear"
Drinking juice after surgery
Do my eyes look red to you?Scott and I found out that Caraline needed eye surgery in September. Her eyes were turning in even with her glasses on & she didn't want to wear them anymore. Her glasses were "too strong" for her eyes, her eye sight was getting better, but with her eyes still turning in, that meant more of a muscle problem than a vision problem.
Caraline's surgery was the morning of October 7th at Baptist Hospital. We didn't sleep well the night before! We all tossed and turned all night! We had to be at the hospital at 7:15am. Caraline was scheduled for surgery at 8:45am.
Caraline was playing on the chairs in the waiting room & met "Besty" the puppet. (Lydia met "Besty" in May 2007 when she had her eye surgery.)
She sat realy quitely with her hospital gown on as we read books to pass the time. I felt better once I saw Dr. Scott & he said "There's my cross-eyed patient!" We laughed because we sometimes call her our "cross-eyed girl".
Caraline was not real happy when the nurse took her back without us. (With Lydia, they gave her some meds to make her loopy & she didn't care when they came to get her.)
30 minutes later, Dr. Scott came out & said her little muscles were wound tight like Lydia's were. She did great!:)
When we went back to see her, she was a little fussy, but not as bad as Lydia was after her surgery. Caraline really wanted that IV out of her arm!
We were home for 11:30am & Caraline was running around the house like nothing happened! She was hungry & talking away!
Caraline hates her eye drops, but other than that, she is doing great!
Thanks to everyone who prayed for Caraline!
