Sadie had her eye surgery last Friday, and it was a better experience than I could have hoped for. Here she is pre surgery with her glasses
and without glasses. Her eyes were definitely getting pretty bad.
We had to check in for her surgery at 7 am in Indy, so we stayed in a hotel the night before (Josh took a personal day and his mom came to stay with the older two). Here we are waiting for them to take her back, I think she enjoyed all the alone time with mom and dad!
She came out of the anesthesia crying of course, but calmed down pretty quickly and fell back asleep and slept pretty much the whole ride home. Her eyes were pretty sad looking, but they didn't really seem to bother her at all which was great because they had warned us to try to keep her from rubbing them.
We stopped and got her some popsicles, and saw Grandma had taken Marissa to the park as we drove past on our way home and so we stopped and she downed two popsicles and then wanted to go play! Needless to say she recovered very quickly, and stuffed her face to make up for not getting to eat that morning.
The doctor said to try her without her glasses for the time being, and that we will see what our next move will be when she comes back for her second post op appointment in 6 weeks. I don't think her eyes are perfectly straight but they look leaps and bounds better than before so that is good news. We sure love this cutie, glasses or not, straight eyes or not!

She is so sweet and cute!!! I am glad it went well. We all prayed and fasted for her. She is a doll!!!
I guess I haven't looked at your blog for a while, your kids are growing up so fast! Glad that Shane is doing so well in Kindergarten. It definitely felt a little weird to me too to just have some one on one time with Tanner, but we love it now! Hope things are going well!
So happy the suregery looks like a real success. She looks so, so cute! Grampa is going to have surgery on his eye muscle on Oct. 2nd in order to help his double vision. Hope it goes as well.
