Eye Surgery

Doc had eye surgery today to fix his crossed eyes.  You'd think that having experienced a child (or two) having had surgery before that it wouldn't be as hard.  Well, you'd guess wrong.  I even thought that until last night, and then early morning came, and then we were driving caravan style to the hospital (since hubby had to head to work as soon as Doc was in recovery), and then we were checking in, and then being taken back to "triage", and then having the anesthesiologist take your baby boy back, and then sitting in the waiting room watching the screen and seeing the "in surgery" highlighted beside your child's ID number, then I realized that no matter how common or rare the surgery, when it's your child it doesn't matter and it's just hard.
But God answered our prayers the way we hoped He might.  Doc did "perfectly" according to the doctor and nurse.  The only trouble was getting the IV in, but that is to be expected with tiny, pudgy arms - and he was asleep for that.  We arrived around 6:10am and were leaving around 10:30am.  He's sleeping now, a little fussy when he was awake a short while ago, but other than that doing great.  Thank you Jesus!!!!
