GOD IS SO GOOD

After years of faithfully serving and providing for me and our children my husband has finally put himself first.  Our son wanted to do something for his dad, and my husband really wanted to have his vision corrected . . . so today was the day he had LASIK eye surgery. WHAT A WONDERFUL BLESSING

Everything went perfectly. The procedure was basically done in "a blink of an eye" (pun intended ;) It is truly amazing what God has allowed doctors to do. First, a corneal flap was made on both eyes. My husband said he felt pressure and a little discomfort, but it was over SO FAST! He couldn't believe how quickly the doctor was able to work.

After the flaps were made he was ushered into a little room right outside of the operating room where he was told to rest his eyes a short while. Within 10 minutes he was lying on another table on the opposite side of the operating room where the doctor completed the procedure. This time he said he felt nothing.

He saw circles of light at one point when the lasers were being used on his eyes. The doctor told him to look up, or down, or at a green light, and before he knew it, he was ready to go home. Each eye was given a protective covering (or shield) in order to prevent anything from disturbing the flaps which had already begun to adhere in their original position. A fashionable pair of sunglasses completed his ensemble.









Once home his instructions were to sleep. It is best to keep the eyes closed right after surgery. He was given several different eye drops to use for the next 5 days. These eye drops are to prevent infection, inflammation, discomfort, and to keep the eyes moist. My hubby's been fast asleep for several hours now. I expect he'll be asleep until I wake him for his follow-up appointment. I can not tell you how excited I am to see his face when he opens his "new" eyes for the first time tomorrow. All I can say is, "God is SO good!

Oh, yeah - if he looks a little "dopey" in the pictures - we're blaming it on the Valium! :)
