As of 9:40pm, Luke has begun his recovery from his corrective eye procedure. The surgeon said it went well and that we'll just have a follow up appointment with him in 2 weeks to make sure everything is progressing. Luke is still sedated and probably won't start to come around until early morning on Friday. He's still on the breathing tube and ventilator, but at low pressures and they hope that by late tomorrow afternoon he'll back back on his trusty canula/wall-air.
His little eyes are red and puffy which they said is normal, but it's still hard to look at him because he's gone through so much already and we hate to see him in any more pain or discomfort.
It was also strange being back in the same procedure room where they did his PDA valve surgery so many weeks ago. It seems like ages ago and that was the first time we were able to give him a little kiss on his head. It reminded us of how much he's gone through since then and just how strong he is.
It's tough, but we know he'll be much better in a few short days and will finally be able to come home with us.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as always and we'll post updates as soon as we can. Thanks.

I am glad to hear that little Luke is doing well. He has shown that he can overcome anything. He's such a strong little boy and I am so glad that in just a few short days he will be home with you.
