Leah is still sleeping, though she wakes up periodically when they check her blood pressure. She gives us a confused stare then, assured that we are still sitting next to her, closes her eyes again. She is showing small signs of swelling just under her eyes, but from what Dr. Taylor said just after surgery it won't be as severe as it was last time. We also learned that the red area under each eye is not from broken blood vessels but from the tape they use to keep her eyes closed during surgery (which I didn't know they did). When they removed the tape, the skin ripped a little under each eye. The nurse offered to have someone from plastics talk to us about it but they said it should heal in a day or so and wasn't cause for concern.
She looks fabulous! It sounds like all is going well! Best wishes for a quick return home!
