Ava had eye surgery scheduled today in Milwaukee. Luckily, we traveled to Milwaukee yesterday so that we would not have to travel today. This turned out to be one of the best decisions since the child scheduled for surgery before Ava ate something, and therefore had their surgery postponed. This meant that Ava got to take his/her spot. The surgery center was super pleased when they found out that we were only 10 minutes away rather than 2 hours away.
Ava was initially scheduled to go in at 10:45, instead she got in at 8:45. The surgery was all complete by 9:30. She was super good for the whole thing. She woke up tired and hungry and sore. All the things you expect for a child who has just had surgery. In this picture she has these braces on her arms so that she could not rub her eye. They sent them home with us, but when she laid down for her nap, she cleverly and easily removed them. So... that really wasn't that effective.
One surgery down, one more to go this week.
