One Week after Surgery

 
Jesse was getting ready to take Kora back into surgery, and he
thought it would be funny to suck his thumb like Kora was. 
 
Kora was kicking and crying the whole time Jesse took her back and put her on the surgical table.  She didn't stop until she fell asleep with the mask over her face.  She pretty much woke up in recovery the same way as she went to sleep.  She wouldn't settle down when either of us held her or walked with her.  She stopped crying long enough to drink some apple juice, so we were free to leave.  We probably weren't in the recovery room for more than 30 minutes.  Kora cried all the way down the halls and out the door.  She finally stopped when she got strapped into the car seat.  She then fell asleep and slept for 2 hours.  The first part of the afternoon was rough since she still wasn't feeling well, but by evening she wanted to walk around and was eating normally.  By Friday morning, Kora was using both eyes at the same time and was able to track objects with both eyes together. The ophthalmologist said Kora shouldn't need another surgery anytime soon. 
 
 
 
Here she is about a week after her surgery. 
She didn't think much of the hair bow.
