Noah's eye surgey

Last Thursday Noah had strubismus eye surgery, (loosening or tightening of the eye muscles).  So far he is doing great and the eyes look to be tracking and aligning much better with and without his glasses on.  The eye doctor said we will not see the most accurate results till 6-12 weeks post op.  Noah has been a trooper and was really only down for the count the day of surgery.  He bounced right back and has not been phased since. 

Getting ready for surgery, they personalized his pillow and gave him a few presents.

So far this is what the whites of his eyes have looked like, the redness is dissipating now.
They gave him a calming syrup before they got started with his IV and full sedation, the syrup had an amnesia effect to it so he has no recollection of the surgery.  He told Tim the IV mark on his hand was from falling off his bike.  Tim was able to take a couple days of leave for the surgery and I must say it was very helpful.  Tim is much more calm about these kinds of things than I am and Noah enjoyed cuddling and hanging out with daddy.
