Atley's eye "surgery"

Atley had "botox" to the eye...I know it sounds crazy...
They still had to put her under, but praise the LORD she only had to have Tylenol and not a crazy list of other drugs and pain killers and anti-anxiety meds and IV, like they loaded her up with last time. She was excited and only cried a few silent elephant tears as she was being wheeled away. She woke up much happier than last time and after some snuggles and juice she was free to go! Since then her eyes have been dilated and off. One turning out sometimes and then the other turning out other times. It should take about 3 months for the "paralyzing" of the muscles to wear off - and during this time her eyes are working to realign themselves with the help of re-routing connectors in her brain. Thank you for praying that her eyes be healed and this is the last of her eye issues.
What a sweet sweet girl we have and we are so thankful for her!!!

getting ready to leave!





on the way home I sat back with her, and we were playing with all the things they let her keep...including her gas mask:)
