Hey guys! My Mom made it through surgery just fine and when they called me at 1:30pm this afternoon, they had checked out of the hospital at Duke and were heading to eat lunch. I could not believe that Mom felt that good, but that was great!!!
The doctor removed the "oil" from her eye that had been put there during the detached retina surgery and he also removed some scar tissue. She has a patch on her eye and that will be removed on Wednesday morning at 8am. She will then see the doctor for a follow-up visit in a week.
I am not sure if she will see immediately after they take her patch off tomorrow or if she will have to regain her vision over time. I am praying for good results!!!
After her visit in the morning, Mom and my sister will come back home. My husband and I were in charge of my Dad. He is real independent, so he did just fine. We took him out to dinner and he loved that.
Thanks so much for all your sweet comments and prayers for my Mom. I know she felt very uplifted today! God is good!
The little boy that I Nanny for turned 4 today, so it was a busy day at his house. I was glad to have that to distract me, since I stayed in town to keep a watch on my Dad.
Here's hoping that you all had a wonderful day!!!
Love & blessings from NC!

ReplyDeleteWill pray things go well now that surgery is complete. It always amazes me how quickly they are able to send people home after something like that. Even open heart surgery - people are able to return home within a short time! Bless you for taking care of mom and dad!
