Post eye-surgery, Feb 13th

We are home with Lexi! She did really well yesterday. We are constantly amazed at her strength and tolerance of all the poking and prodding she goes through! She's our little trooper! Lexi is very swollen and has bloody eyes, but surgery went well and there is a 70% success rate! The best news yesterday was that the MRI dept was running behind 2 hours- we were frustrated at 1st, but the opthomologist was literally sitting around waiting for Lexi to show up for her eye surgery. So, she was only sedated for about 6 hours instead of 8 or 9! (Blessings in disguise-we love it!) We will talk with the neurosurgeon about her MRI results later this coming week. We will know more about the success of her eye surgery in 3-4 weeks as her brain now has to "reset" to her new eye position. Please keep us in your prayers this week as Lexi is not to be out much because of her high risk for eye infections. Also, Lexi is supposed to do "resting activities" for a week- should be interesting with 3 littles ones! Thank you all foor your prayers. I can't begin to tell you how hard it is to hand your little baby over to a team of doctors and watch them "go to work" on her- it's perhaps the most difficult thing we've had to do! Your prayers give us the inner strength we need!
