Here are a few pictures of Truman Recovering after the surgery.
He had a pretty sweet set up. He ate his meals on the couch, had a laptop for movies, and lots and lots of gatorade in his special sippie.
After the surgery, we were told we had to keep him from bonking his eye for 10 days (therefore undoing the surgery), and to keep him down for the first few days following the surgery. Thank heavens for movies. We watched Ice Age 3 and Monster vs. Aliens quiet a few times.
And just for posterity sake, the following story.
The first Sunday following the surgery, I went to church, and Toph stayed home with Truman. Whilst they were cuddling and reading books, Truman got ahold of one of the knots/end of his stitches. Thinking it was an eye crusty or something caught in his eyelashes he pulled. (A Learning lesson for us as parents…we told him not to pull/touch the stitches, but never showed him with his hands (touching) what the stitches were. Duh.)
Pulling out part of his stitches. (see the really long looking eyelash? It’s actually a stitch.)
Thankfully, after Toph made a trip down to see the Doctor with Tru, we were grateful to hear that Tru pulled the right stitch (out of the four), and we wouldn’t have to redo the surgery, and there had been no bleeding or tearing.
As always, never a dull moment around these part.
