First off I want to start with an update on Zak and the surgery. He is doing really well, other than being a little cranky (which is to be expected). When the ear doctor finished his part and came out to let us know how it went, he told us that he did have infection in the right ear, and that his adenoids were also infected. Now that the tubes have been replaced, infection sucked out, and adenoids removed; he should start feeling better soon. That part of the surgery took about 30 minutes.
About 10 to 15 minutes later the eye doctor came out. He told us all went well, and he was able to open up the tear ducts without any problems. He told us that there is a 10% chance that they will close back up and if that happens they will have to go in and place balloons in the ducts to help keep them open. We are not going to think about that, we are going to keep our hopes up that he will not fall in that 10%.
So for the past few nights, they have been very LONG ones. Since the surgery Zak has been a restless little one. We are lucky if we get a total of 2 hours sleep at one time. It is like he is having nightmares about the surgery, and he is constantly pulling at his left hand (as if he is trying to pull something out, which is the hand the IV was in). I hope it soon gets better, which I'm sure it will.
I will continue to keep everyone posted on how things go.
