Eye Surgery

Today Jake has his pre-op for his upcoming eye surgery on 6/23. The surgery will attempt to strengthen Jake's eye muscles in both eyes to help them work together instead of independently. We were hoping to wait till Jake's midface surgery since they have to move the eyes anyway. We visited two of Jake's eye dr.'s to see if we could wait but both agreed there would be too much damage done and we wouldn't be able to correct the situation. It's been a nice break from the operating room for us as Jake's last surgery was in May 2008. We have some relief that the procedure is an outpatient procedure and Jake should be back to normal after a few days. We'll keep our fingers crossed that they can repair the eye muscles and potentially restore depth perception which they feel Jake may lack in both eyes.
