Hmmm...that sounds like the surgery my hubby had when he was a boy.WBHarley said:Reba According to the folder I got from his eye Doctor..
It is just eye muscle Surgery
This type of surgery is elective. It is routinely performed on an outpatient basis unless there is a medical reason to keep the patient in the Hospital the night before or the night after surgery..
Which is he won't stay... according to his Dr..
His Next Follow up will be on Feb 9th for BTC (brain tumor clinic).. then after that May..

In my hubby's family, the eye muscle problem was inherited. He had it, his uncle had it, and his grandmother had it. His grandmother never had the surgery (it wasn't available in those days). His uncle had the surgery as an adult, so it wasn't too successful (he was too old). My hubby had the surgery when he was five years old, so it was more successful. That was in the 1950s. I am sure the surgery process is much better now, especially for children. It is wonderful how so much surgery is outpatient now.
