Post op...

Here's a little update on the ol' eye...


These are pics from the day after surgery... at the doctor's office.




These are pictures from TODAY... 16 days later...


It's amazing how kids' little bodies heal themselves so quickly!
The doctor expects this tiny scar to fade away entirely.

Just an FYI... the tumor autopsy came back. It was benign... so not cancerous. AND it was a good thing we got it out when we did because it was infected and ready to burst. If it HAD burst, it would have infected his eye socket and perhaps done some serious nerve/sight damage.
