Post op Opthamology

This week we make our trek back up to CHLA for Noelle's post op. I was kind of dreading this appointment, one because of the drive and second, I wasn't sure the surgery had worked.

The drive on google maps shows a 50 mile trip. Not too bad, if you don't hit traffic. The traffic in LA SUCKS! For some reason no matter what time of day there is always traffic in LA. We lucked out and it only took us an hour and a half vs the 2 hours it took us the previous week when we drove.

When you are working with a well known doctor you should always expect wait times. LONG wait times, one reason I was dreading this appointment. We waited two hours past our appointment time before we saw the doc. Since one of my friends took the older two kids I got some good me time in with Noelle. The doc did have some good news for us. Noelle's eye pressures were within the normal range! After surgery she didn't sound convinced that the surgery would work, she still isn't sure the pressures will stay down but it's nice to know they are good for now!

We will go back in a couple of weeks for a recheck of her eyes and go from there. She will have many more surgeries on her eyes we just hope and pray the pressures will stay down so they don't have to do more treatments before the next surgery.
