What a Relief!

The surgery went great!! Praise God! Last time it took Luke about a month and a half to really get back to himself. Today....about four hours! We are so happy. So what they did is undo the opening they did back in September, then the doctor also sutured Luke's left eye shut to allow it to heal. He will hopefully take those sutures out at his follow up visit next Thursday. Luke is doing great, you would never know he had surgery today. He has been very vocal...I just wish sometimes I knew what he was trying to tell us...I know, all in God Speed, not Stacey Speed. So, the only bad thing about today is, I never think it is a good thing when the hospital staff starts to recognize you. It means we have been there way too much. I told Mike after we were done, the next time we go to the hospital it better be to have this baby. Thanks so much for the prayers today, they worked in a mighty way! Believe!
