Surgery went well

We were only at the surgery center for about 4 hours. Surgery went well for both of them. They're home and trying to rest. Poor little guys just want to rub their eyes and they have these plastic shields taped over their eyes.
I was told that day 2 & 3 will be the worst and then they should start to improve.

Surgery tomorrow

Last Monday, the boys had their routine eye exams to check how their ROP was. We ended up being there for almost 3 hours. Both of the boys were diagnosed with Strabismus. Essentially, the muscles behind the eyes aren't aligned properly and it causes one eye to turn in when they move their eyes. If it's not treated early, the brain will learn to ignore the problem and it will cause a lazy eye. Their surgeries tomorrow will be what's considered a minor outpatient surgery that shouldn't take more than a half hour each. The opthamologist is going to re-align the muscles behind their eyes so that their eyes move together.
Riley definitely has a worse case than Addison but I opted to have them get surgery at the same time so that it can be done and over. They say the recovery time is 1-2 weeks but that they should be up and moving around in a few days. I cancelled all of their therapies next week so that they can just be at home and healing.
I, of course, am a ball of nerves thinking about my boys. This will be the first surgery for both of them.
We have to be at the surgical center at 6am and I hope to be home sometime in the afternoon. I'll try to update tomorrow evening.
