Henry is having strabismus surgery tomorrow at CHEO. The doctor will adjust the muscles in both eyes in order to straighten out Henry's vision. We're a little nervous about the whole procedure because surgery is inherently nerve-wracking, especially when your child is the patient. But I have confidence in the ophthalmologist and have been impressed so far with the hospital (we were there last week for pre-surgical screening). And I want to get it over with.
There's an even chance Henry will have to have the same procedure again some time in the future, because according to the doctor it is very difficult to get the adjustment right the first time. And once the physical correction is made, Henry will still have to learn how to use his eyes together in order to totally correct the problem. I'm not sure how we accomplish that, we'll worry about it later. For now, I just want things to go smoothly tomorrow.
