Surgery Day
We went to Swedish Hospital at 5:30 this morning. The children's waiting area got busy fast. There was a Russian woman and her daughter with a translator. Maybe there to surgically correct all of her backwards Rs. Our anesthesiologist had a beard. There was a mixup on the schedule and he said he had been at home reading the paper and talking to his dog when he found out. They cut the left eye muscle on one side and lengthened it on the other to help correct the crossing. They use a scissors. The eye was crossing and the brain was beginning to ignore it which was causing vision to decline. The surgery won't directly improve his vision but it will make it so it doesn't get worse. So, now it is over and the surgery went well. Finn's eye looks like it has been headbutted by a badger but he is doing well. Mostly sleeping and throwing up a little which is common after this surgery. Thanks for all your thoughts and calls.

Been thinking about you. Call us if you need anything.
I recognize those jammies. Swedish does a really good job keeping the kids and parents distracted while waiting for the big event. I'm so glad you all came through it OK.
