Carlie had her surgery on her eyes, and everything went great! It was very hard handing her over to the anesthesiologist before the surgery. Carlie did great, and so did the surgeon! She woke up easily but was not very happy, she screamed for 45 minutes or so and never opened her eyes until she had calmed down. But I had made Carlie a deal, that if she woke up from the anesthesia she could scream all she wanted and I would hold her and try to comfort her, so she was just fulfilling her part of the deal. She wasn't quite herself the rest of the day, but the next morning she woke up laughing and our little Carlie was back!
Before surgery, poor little eyes.
After surgery, eyes much straighter but pretty red from the surgery. Her eyes don't turn in anymore and she moves them both together. The redness went away after a couple weeks and now you would never know she was cross-eyed. The Dr. said he couldn't have hoped for better results, although he did say she could face more surgeries in the future. Her brain was not putting the 2 images from eyes and making them one. With her eyes straight now and moving together we hope her brain will learn to use them properly.
