Baby Blues
Savannah can see.
A few minutes ago I took off her eye patch and convinced her to let me open her eyelid so that i could see if there was anymore yellow junk coming out of it since I hadn't cleaned it for about 24 hours. She protested and then reluctantlly let me. To my shock there was no yellow film and her beautiful blue eye was looking back at me. It is extremely bloodshot but intact and semi-healthy looking. Her pupil was the same size as the other one and no clouding that I could tell. Suddenly she realized she could see and hold it open and she started jumping up and down screaming and laughing. We all did. After a few minutes of a lot of blinking and me explaining to her that she can't rub it she decided that she didn't need another patch. The lid is still kind of greyish purple and doesn't exactly symmetrically match the other one. It is still a bit swollen I guess. However, her eyes have never looked as beautiful to me as they do right now.
