“The black-eyed baby” update
Abe named Truman “The Black-eyed Baby” tonight at dinner. I’m afraid it’s quite true.
Truman had a check-up with the doctor this morning. Dr. Call said his eye looked “Great.” It was much more bruised and swollen than we anticipated, but we’re glad the doctor thinks it’s healing well. Truman’s eye patch fell off during his afternoon nap and we let his eye have a little air until bedtime when we put a new one on to protect his eye until morning. Then he should be okay to be patch-free. When the original patch first came off his eye was so swollen Truman couldn’t open it at all. After a few hours, the swelling went down a bit, and his eye opened more.
You can see that Truman is much happier now that his eye patch is off. We hope his stitches heal well and that things mend and mellow out in the next week for him. When Jimmy was at the doctor’s this morning, he met a man who had a patch just like Truman – only he had his entire eyeball removed. We feel grateful that Truman only needed minor surgery and had no complications.
Wow, Tru! You look great. Good job making it through your first surgery (and your first black eye!). We have sure been hoping things would all go well.
Ohhh poor baby boy! His smile is SO cute, and his eye looks OUCHY! I’m glad he’s taking it well, I cannot imagine the drama that Ryan would create (and all the attention he’d pull out of it…) haha.
Love you donker!
