Okay, so I know that you all have been wondering how Libby's eye surgery went. It was fine! We went in early in the morning and Libby was so cute. We got there a little early so we played in the empty parking lot to kill some time (and so she wouldn't remember that she hadn't eaten yet that morning).
It was at an eye surgery center so most of the people there are older (for cataract surgery, etc.) so everyone was happy to see such a cutie like Libby. Here she is waiting for the surgeon in her gown that was WAY too big for her!
Here's the best close-up that we could get. You can kind of see the gunk in the corners of her eyes, plus all her eyelashes are matted together.
She had both eyes "probed and irrigated." It was about 10 minutes total from when they took Libby (who didn't cry!) until when she woke up from the anesthesia. The doctor and the nurses were all pretty impressed that she didn't cry when they took her. However, she had a wild ride waking up from anesthesia. She was flailing her body all over and crying.
We just couldn't calm her down until she got into her carseat. Poor baby.
But ever since the surgery her eyes haven't clogged up at all. Now we can see what beautiful eyes she really has!

Nice story! Libby will love having this record of this experience.
Ah, she is too cute. I love her hair, and her eyes have always been lovely, goop and all!
She is growing up so fast. She is so cute too. I am so glad the surgery went well. It is so scary to have your child in the hospital. I am so glad she is fine!
