Yesterday we met with Leyla's ophthalmologist/ surgeon, Dr. DeBecker. She explained to us how the procedure will go on Wednesday.
Rather than weakening the inside muscles on Leyla's eyes, they will now be peeling the muscles from the top and bottom of her eyes and moving them to the outsides of the eyes. They will then do a couple of Botox injections on the inside muscles, to relax them a bit while she heals. It should take about 8 weeks after the surgery to see whether the surgery was fully successful or not. There is a chance that she may need another surgery to weaken the inside muscles afterward but, we're hoping that isn't an issue!
Today we saw Dr. Rosenthal (Leyla's Pediatrician) for her Pre-Op physical, got the sign off! We're good to go! In about 3 1/2 hours we'll be on our way to the Worlds Largest Buffalo! Does it get any better than that?!
Have a great weekend!
