Heartfelt Thanks

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who prayed for Jesse this week. He had his eye surgery (strabismus) and everything is well so far. He had a lazy eye, which runs in my side of the family. I have a weak eye and my sister. It seems to run boy, girl, boy, girl.... My dad and his mom, etc... My left eye is weaker about 1 whole number.

Jesse's eye was a little crossed and his brain decided that the strong eye would just take over and he was starting to lose his sight in the weaker eye. So, we patched the stronger eye every day for several months and it did help a little bit, but not enough that the dr. was happy with it.
Monday, he had surgery. They cut the muscles in both eyes so they would have to learn to work together in order for him to see again and hopefully will be able to use both of them from now on.

The surgery went well and was fairly quick. We did have to wait for a long time, but once it happened we were heading home within about an hour. He had a few bloody tears, but not the way I thought.

He slept most of the day on Monday. Woke up and wanted a little bit to eat so he had about a 1/2 sandwich and juice. Watched his sister play the PS2 for 1/2 hour then came running out into the dining room and launched his lunch all over the dining room floor. It was red juice by the way. Then he went and layed down on the couch and fell asleep again (with the puke bucket next to him). I spent the next 45 min. cleaning up and mopping the entire floor and wiping down the table legs. I wonder if he didn't have a touch of motion sickness or something from watching the tv???

When he woke up he was fine. The hardest thing has been putting in the eye drops. Wouldn't want to waste those stinking things.... $75 for a tiny little 3ml bottle of antibiotic eye drops. Somebody is raking in some money for those.
He is getting better about it after 3 days. Only 7 more to go...... :)
