Post-Op Appointment


There is really not much to report here. The surgeon looked at him for a few seconds and said he looks good. He said one of the ways you can tell the surgery worked in that when they look down the sling will pull that eye open more. He also said at this point it is not necessary to continue with the ointment (which I haven't been doing anyway). But the surgeon says that even though his eyelid is slightly open when he sleeps, it is shut enough to protect the eye and keep it moist.

Danny doesn't complain about his eye at all. He can shut it just fine. He does have some scars because he wouldn't stop picking at his scabs, but they are very small. They eyelids look pretty even most of the time. But he does have some faces where you can really see a difference. This is a picture of him doing a downward gaze, which is when the difference is most noticeable.
