Eliana was such a little trooper this morning. She got some verset (not sure of spelling) it makes you kinda loopy. Eliana fell asleep after taking it as she was so tired. Which was good as she did not know when she was wheeled into OR. Upon arriving back at her room she was crying and upset. She kept saying her arm hurt and her eyes hurt. Then she tried to pull the IV out of her hand. But it was all boarded and taped so their was no chance of that. It took what seems like forever for her to calm down. She cried and yelled. And Eliana kept saying "it didn't work" and "I can't see". Yesterday I told her Dr E was going to fix her eye and we talked about the hospital trip. She would not open her eyes therefore kept saying "I can't see". I was laughing inside as she was awake but not fully aware of what was going on. Of course her comment of "it didn't work" was because she thought she couldn't open her eyes.

She had some liquids and ice cream. We left the hospital at 12pm and got home at 12:30. Brett promised her somce ice cream before she went into surgery. So we stopped at McDonald's and Eliana wanted a parfait. We got home she ate the entire parfait drank a few sips of chocolate milk shake. Gave her some meds and now we are sitting in a recliner. Well, I'm sitting and she is snoring & asleep in my lap. The fun thing is to keep her out of too much light. And not let her rub her eyes or get water in them for a week. Despite having the surgery she is doing well. She did say her eyes hurt and her tummy. Although all the ice cream/parfait I can see why her tummy hurts. I'm glad she is taking a nap. This will help in the long run.
