Abigail had her eye surgery for congenital ptosis this morning. The procedure was called a "frontalis suspension," where the eyelid is attached to the forehead (frontalis) muscle which will give her eyes a "lift." Abby was in surgery for just over an hour, although it seemed like an eternity to Mom and Dad. The surgery was successful and Abby is doing well. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers these past few days. 
Above, Abby pre-op, full of smiles, despite not being able to eat or drink since midnight. Following the surgery, she seemed quite irritated... I am sure that it was confusing for her to have an IV in her leg, bandage on her forehead, as well as not being able to close her eyes.
Here is Abby post-op... poor little thing!! We are told that the swelling will improve over the next 3 or 4 days, and full recovery expected in approximately three weeks. She seems to be enjoying her new view on the world.
