Maggie's Surgery

Here is my poor noodle yesterday after she came home from her surgery.  I have known for quite some time (about 6 months) that she would have to eventually have strabismus surgery on her eyes.  Nothing quite prepares you for having to watch your child be wheeled back into the OR knowing she is going to have the muscles around her eyes cut into.  She was pretty groggy after surgery and a little feisty, but then she sacked out for 4 hours when we got home.  I was mostly worried about the recovery process, but sure enough she awoke this morning as spicy as ever being her normal Maggie self!  Her eyes are still a bit bloodshot and she hates the drops I have to put in 3 times a day but other than that she is fine!  A kind of funny/disturbing story: the anesthesiologist came out to tell us that after they had given her versed and laid her down, he went to put the mask on her to put her to sleep and she grabbed it out of his hand, said "I do it myself", put it on her mouth and laid down and fell asleep!  WOW is all I can say to that!
