Eye Surgery

 Kate had eye surgery on the 26th, to remove a cataract from her eye. Kate was brave with everything except eye drops. Those are the bane of our existence right now. Grandma Jensen sent Kate this tiger all dressed up and ready for surgery, and the nurses and doctor were super sweet--putting the tiger to sleep before Kate and giving him his own mask and hair net. When she woke up she was groggy, but pretty good. She only wanted mom to hold her though.

 The poor girl slept most of the way home and had a hard time not scratching her operated on eye.
Then the next morning we went back to the doctor and he took off the bandage and said everything looked great. Now we have to keep her still and put eye drops in her eyes every 2 hours. It is a full time job, and a huge headache, but hopefully it all works out well in the end!
