Eye Doctor

Lisa had her check up with Dr. Anderson on Thursday. Unfortunately the news he gave me was not good. Lisa has a fragment of lens still in her eye from the cataract surgery. He had warned us before Lisa had her first surgery that this might happen. Even though we had discussed this happening it was still hard to hear that my 3 month old would have to go though her 5th eye surgery. The doctor is hoping that the lens will go away on its own. I can't believe I am writing that sentence. If the lens hasn't went away in the last 2 months, why would it in the next month? So Dr. Anderson wanted to set up a surgery date and have us come in with Lisa the morning of so he could look at her eye. If it was still there he would do surgery that day. The one day he could do it just happened to be the day before my father-in-law was getting married and both my husband and I are in the wedding. Needless to say my daughter comes first but there is a 4 hour drive from the surgery center to where the wedding is being held. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't need to see her the day after the surgery ( day of the wedding). So that is going to make for one long day. I just hope that if she does have to have surgery, that is goes easier than the last one. Since the first surgery, the effects of the medication have made her more irritable each time after the surgery. I know we don't have it as bad as some parents. But it is still hard to see your baby go through surgery. It was a long drive back from the doctors, all I thought about was that she might have to go through another surgery. She is such a sweet little girl.
