Gabriella, post eye surgery

Gabriella's eye surgery was just 48 hours ago. It took just under 30 minutes to complete.

She went in with 20/40 in one eye and 20/50 in the other.

Twenty-four hours post-op she was evaluated and they found that her eyes were 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 in the other.

We are praising God for her new sight and that her eyes are already beginning to line up. The extreme itchiness of her eyes stopped within about 36 hours.

She read a "Bob" book called Mat just a couple minutes before rolling in to surgery. 48 hours post-op I had her read the same book. She zoomed through it today.

Baba asked if she got smarter with her surgery because last night when they were playing with her little Fisher Price Little People and Animals, Gabriella's animal approached Baba's person and asked, "What's your name?"

Eyes... "Line up" in Jesus name!

Gabriella will go in for surgery to cut muscles so that her eyes can align.

I don't do eyes... so, this will be interesting. I have a hard time talking about my other daughter's contacts... not sure what I am going to do, or how I am going to do looking at my baby's eyes, post-surgery.

We are praying that God will do a mighty miracle, put a hedge of protection around Gabriella, and give wisdom to the doctor, anesthesiologist, and attending staff.
