we're done

you know how you look to a certain moment in time for so long. everything is geared toward that moment. when the moment is over...what do you do?

everything went fantastically. alaythia was so brave and really was a trooper. they gave her the drugs before she left us and as promised, she was not herself, and when handed off to the stranger/doctor she didn't even really notice that it wasn't me. handing her over was hard for sure. but from the time i gave her up until the time i was holding her again was a total of 35 minutes.

our doctor came in to let us know that she only did the right eye because the left flushed on it's own. they did not have to shave cartilage on the right side, another blessing. when she was waking up she was pretty upset and so they asked me to come back. they gave a little bit of drugs through her IV and she calmed down and fell asleep on me for about the next hour. we went up to the post operation room where she continued to sleep. when we woke her up she drank quickly and they took the IV out and we were on our way.

she just had lunch and aside from a little bit of a bloody nose she seems like our normal alaythia.
we continue to pray that the surgery will take and her tear duct will stay open. we praise the Lord for his protection and comfort through it.
