Recovery

Last weekend was a hard recovery for Frankie. He woke up Saturday morning throwing up, but there was nothing in his stomach to throw up except some saliva. He did start eating slowly and drinking, so that seemed to help. He was still in a lot of pain over the weekend. When he finally walked a bit he was very wobbly and off balance. It did go away, I think due to him getting used to his "new" eyes.
We used a lot of Tyenol, and the eye ointment/drops have been hard! We went for his follow up appointment on Wednesday and the doctor said his eyes are healing nicely!!! The appointment was hard, Frankie was very afraid! But it is done, we do not need to go back until May!
It was a hard recovery for Frankie and for me to! To see your child in pain is one of the hardest things! I was shaking from it for days. I still feel sad, off, not quite happy. But we had a nice night out to dinner tonight.
He has been extremely light sensitive from the surgery too! We had blankets on the windows and the lights dimmed for a while. Today he was outside for a few minutes and didn't say his eyes hurt. So we are getting there!
