This afternoon we took Brynn to her first surgery follow up appointment. Dr. Salevitz said that she looks amazing. He was really happy with the results. He said that even though the first and second surgeries were similar, he worked with different tendons. The first surgery was because her eyes crossed. This surgery was to keep them from "floating".
Her eyes still kind of "float" but it's not as noticeable. Most of the time now, she'll catch them doing it, she'll blink, and they'll go back to normal. After the surgery, Dr. Salevitz mentioned that the tendons that he was working with were about 2/3 thicker than normal. He was glad we did the surgery when we did.
Today, we asked if there was a maximum number of surgeries that she could have and he said it just depends on the person and how many tendons and muscles they're working with.
So, overall, she looks great and we won't go back for another follow up for about two months. YAY!!
P.S. I can't get her to look directly at the camera to take a good picture!!
