He Can See!

We got to Primary Children's Hospital at 7:00 a.m. to get Logan registered for his procedure. Raylie stayed at my sisters house because they didn't want other siblings there, although it was ok to bring Lucas because he is a little "attached." I guess the hospital is running low on matching clothes and ones that fit properly! He LOVED the socks because he felt like spider-man! The room we went to first was for the PA to come exam him. Making sure he is healthy enough for surgery.

After the okay for surgery we went to another waiting room where they gave him some eye drops, and some versed. Then the doctor came into talk to us and marked which eye they would be doing the surgery on.
Next the anaesthesiologist came in to talk to us. Then we put Logan in the wagon and he took him away! As you can tell Logan really didn't have ANY separation issues (thanks to the versed)! Josh and I on the other hand were quite teary eyed at this point.
After about an hour and a half the surgeon came out and told us that the surgery went really great! The lens was in place and it was looking like there shouldn't be any problems with it. Logans pupil had been misshapen we thought it was just were he got hit and he had damaged the iris. But the surgeon said the iris was actually stuck to the old lens! He said he peeled it off, put the new lens in. We are doing eye drops every 2 hours for the next week in hopes to keep it from sticking to the new one. After he left we waited another 15 minutes or so before ONE of us could go see him. Josh went to go see him first because they wouldn't let Lucas back in the main recovery. So once they moved him again Lucas and I were able to go back and see him. This is me loving my brave boy...he is still a little out of it.
After about an hour in recovery we were able to wheel him out in a wagon. This is how he chose to be taken out...completely covered! If you look closely you will see monkey's dark head next to his head! We got in the car and went back to Desirae's house to spend the night. This is how he spent most of the day, sleeping on the bed.
I thought that night was going to be horrible with a nursing two month old (who still is up every 3 hours to eat) and a little boy who just had surgery. But Logan slept all night! He must have turned at one point and the shield came off so I had to put it back on, other than that the night went fine. We had to have a post op appointment the next day.


Here we are waiting for the doctor to come into check his eye. This appointment was great because we learned that it was a success and that he can see three times better than before! The doctor was happy to see this so soon as well. We will have another follow-up appointment on the 17th of this month. I just had to add this cute picture of Raylie in. She feel asleep just a couple minutes after we got on the freeway. We stopped in Provo to eat at the Training Table with Josh's brother and this is when I took the picture.
The next post will be Lucas's (late) two month post. He's such a chunk...you'll love it!
