Surgery

Tomorrow is a day that we have been anxiously awaiting... Aynslee will have surgery to repair her droopy eyelid. When Aynslee had her first surgery in December 2005, we knew there was a chance we would be down this road again. Luckily, Dr. Woodman prepared us for this. We met with him in December 2008, but due to a misunderstanding with the medical insurance company and lost paperwork, we did not get approve until March 2009.

We have to be in Tacoma at 6:45am, but surgery is not until 7:45. Tonight, Aynslee is a little nervous, but excited. I am praying the bruising is minimal, although I have been warned multiple times to expect it due to how they do the surgery. Some how (I don't want to know, for fear of being totally grossed out) they attach her eyelid to her eyebrow. She will be awake during surgery through conscious sedation. The goal is to head home Friday morning.

For those that read this blog, your prayers would be appreciated.

I will post pictures tomorrow of the before and after.
