Emma's Eye Surgery

The glasses and patching were not correcting Emma's eye from turning in, so her doctor felt it was best to surgically fix the problem. Today was her surgery day. We drove to Dothan early this morning and it took him about an hour to complete the surgery. She did not come out of anesthesia well for her MRI back in May and today was no different. It was actually a little worse because she was hungry and her eyes were itching from the stitches. We had to wait a bit for the anesthesia to wear off and for them to release her and she was more than ready to escape the surgery center. The first bit of the car ride back was rough because she was wanting to be held and had to ride in her carseat and she was overly exhausted. Here are Scott and one of our ministers from church excited about grabbing breakfast from Bojangles'. 
 Here is the happy Emma we know! The anesthesia was out of her system and she was starting to feel more like herself!!!
 Her sweet class left her a goody bag of her favorite things and a get well balloon. She was so excited to get home and see this surprise waiting on the front porch for her!!
