Kyle's Second Surgery

Yesterday, Kyle had surgery on his eyes for strabismus (in doctor's terms). basically it means his eyes are not working together, which was making him see double. He has been a champ about wearing his glasses and a patch 3 plus hours a day. I was nervous as a mom can be before Kyle's surgery. He was a champ, though! It took a little over an hour. When he woke up, he kept saying "I don't want to open my eyes" because his eyes hurt. The nurse said that often times kids who have this surgery don't open their eyes for a whole day :(. Kyle, being the feisty little red, opened them soon after he woke up and scared us when he said "I can't see". But then he noticed Barney on the t.v. and we all breathed a sigh of relief! He is healing well so far...even after throwing up in the hospital and in the car. He tried to eat absolutely everything in the house last night after he hadn't eaten all day. Now we are just trying to keep him from rubbing his eyes and keeping his hands really clean to prevent infection. We are so lucky to have great friends and family's support! Thanks everyone! No pics now because he's sensitive to light and I didn't think it'd be so nice to throw a flash his way! he looks the same, but with really red and dilated eyes.
