The doctor said that everything went really well. Since he had ITP, they were watching to make sure that he didn't bleed too much, and the surgeon said that he actually bled less than normal for this operation. We actually weren't too concerned about that since his platelet count was up to 74,000.
Myles slept for awhile since we got home, and took the rest of his bottle now that he woke up. He is doing really well, although he looks rather awful. We've seen a few smiles now, and he's playing on the floor with his blocks. Pretty amazing all things considered, it's only 3 1/2 hours since he woke up from surgery.
We went in this morning at 7:45, he went into surgery at 9:00. At 10:00 they came and got us to tell us all had gone well and we got him back at about 10:15. After an hour they left us go home, and we were home at 12:15.
As for the results? We'll know in a few weeks just how well they actually did aligning his eyes. As of now they look better, but maybe turn out a little rather than in as they did before. But we really can't go off of how they look right now, only time will tell the actual success of the operation.
Well, that's all I have for now, maybe there will be more later.

I am impressed and pleased too. Thank God for able surgeons and healthy babies.
Wow. I think I would be emotionally unstable. But he looks as precious as ever. How long will they be red? Give him hugs for me too. Maybe I won't be so scary now....
