This morning we returned for a post-op visit. At 7:45am!!!! (yes-we are tired) Dr. Hertle said the kids look great. They started opening their eyes some this morning. When we left the car with the valet, there were some red wagons inside. We put the kids in there to take them upstairs since they weren't too keen on opening their eyes or walking for that matter. We have some ointment for their eyes as well. We will return in April/May for a followup.
The kids are keeping cool compresses on their eyes (especially TA) and taking tylenol. TA did get some codeine to help since he seems to be in more pain. We were back at the hotel by 9am and ate breakfast. The kids at waffles, juice, fruit, and dry cereal. Appetites are back! EQ is asleep again.
TA: When do I get surgery?
me: you are finished.
TA: How do they reattach the muscles?
me: It's like sewing patches on your sparkies uniform - except he uses special thread for eyes.
We are heading home today. Hope traffic isn't too bad.

Hello!
I just happened across your blog while looking through the Mil-Fam-Adopt yahoo group listings. My husband and I have 2 bio sons and 1daughter adopted from China almost 7 months ago now. I see you live in the DC area. Our family will be PCSing to DC this summer. We are looking at different areas to live, the Alexandria-Woodbridge areas.
I enjoyed finding your blog. If you get a chance you can find me at http://theochronicles.blogspot.com.
