Surgery follow-up

Its been almost 6 weeks since Liv's eye surgery & we had our follow-up with Dr. Troia today.  (Thanks to Auntie Molly for watching the boys!)

How did it go?  Well his comments were something along these lines: "She's got enough attitude to go around."  & "She is definately a fiesty one."  Took us both to hold her down for him to get a good look at her retinas! 

Her eyes do still on occasion turn in.  But its infrequent.  Not constantly like before.  He didn't say much about it.  Just that he did get them to turn too.  And that they bounced right back.  I think with strabismus, there is never a 100% fix.  I know adults who had surgery or treatments as a kid say theirs still turn when they are tired, etc.  I'm just happy that she looks nice in her pictures (sorry that sounds vain) & glad that its supposed to be the best thing for preserving her depth perception down the road.  I'll take, what seems to me to be 95%.  I never expected 100%. 

She has been looking over her glasses a lot since surgery & I was curious what he'd say about that.  I didn't think they were working for her.  And we are infact changing her prescription.  So we'll see what that does for her.  Her astigmatism from before is completly gone!  Apparently the eye surgery itself & moving the muscles can change the shape of your eye.  Hence the reason her astigmatism is gone.  So thats good news.  AND we are going DOWN on her glasses prescription, just a little.  But down.  Yay!

And just because.... I ordered her a new pair of glasses.  Some color this time :)  I'll go get new lenses in her current frames too, so for once we'll have a back up pair.  (And she can be a diva with 2 different frames!)  She had fun trying on new frames.  Prancing around in them.  The gals at the glasses store got quite a little show :)  And we had to bribe her to get the pair off that we decided to go with, so that we could place the order.  Hopefully she likes them that well when they come in (in 1-2 weeks).

And we'll just go back & follow-up in 6 months!
