Anyone here with experience of corrective eye surgery for small children?

[Daisy]

Gem, that's such good news, I know how relieved you must be, and now you can just look forward to seeing him tomorrow.

I'm sure we all agree with Clover that he's been a brave little boy.

He is awake , won't open his eyes, but is eating a cheese scone

[Daisy]

I think his eyes must feel "funny" to him, but it's good that he's enjoying something to eat.

[Gemini]

All good.

Our little star is on the way home. Singing Jingle Bells in the car and eating bread sticks

He can see, is eating well and has left hospital with a sticker for being a brave boy

DD said all the staff were praising him.

I am looking forward to seeing him tomorrow, armed with his new Thomas jigsaw and a chocolate doughnut, and lots of gentle cuddles.

What a brave little lad he is ,
Look at that smile 😁
Well done E your a ⭐ 👏👏😍

Gem, I wish I'd seen this last night. What a superstar he is, and you must be so pleased and relieved he's come through the operation very well, and so bravely. How lovely to have a certificate saying what a brave boy he's been. Give him a gentle hug from me, please. xxx

So pleased that the operation went well and E is recovering well! Sadly can’t see his certificate but I’m sure he’s very proud of it! Brave little boy! X

[Gemini]

Thanks everyone.

He had quite a good night, waking for a while at 4am because his eyes were glued together ( he thought his night light had gone off!)
This morning he wouldn't open his eyes or let them bathe them at first. He still played, ran about and ate breakfast with them closed

I figured me taking him surprises would make him open them but in fact he had already opened then by the time I arrived.
He has been happy and chatty all day and loved having lunch with mummy, daddy and me. If not for the slightly red eyes, you would not know he had had an operation yesterday.

DD needed a Mum hug and little cry when I arrived, which I expected. She has been very brave but it's been a strain on her.

[Gemini]

WG, can you see the photo now?

[Daisy]

Gem, little E is doing very well. Children are so resilient and just get on with things, but it's a relief he was able to pen his eyes even before you arrived with surprises for him. Your poor DD must be exhausted with emotion, and I'm glad you were there to give her a Mum Hug.

[WeeGranny]

Yes thanks Gem! He looks such a happy little chap showing off the certificate! Bless him!

[Lizzie48]

I can see it now Gem, cute!

As I said it's the grown ups who get upset,
I'm sure having Mum around for a hug did your DD the world of good ❤️
