Eden's eye surgery went very well this morning. Although her cold was not completely gone she was well enough for the surgery. The doctor loosened the inner eye muscle (the one closest to her nose) but did nothing to the outer muscle. He said the inner muscle was very tight so by releasing it the eye can now travel to her left further than it had been able to do. It's hard to get the full effect of the change quite yet b/c her eye is red and may not even move properly for a few weeks until the muscle heals. But we ran into the doctor as we were leaving and he was really pleased with how her eye was moving. He called it instant results.

She had no problems with the anesthesia. She drank 5 oz. of juice right after she woke up. We were in and out in 3 1/2 hours. An MRI takes longer than that! We need to see the eye doctor next week and she doesn't get her right eye patched again until after we see him (Yeah! A week with no patching!). She was awake for several hours after the surgery but has been napping peacefully for the last hour.
