Vaughn's eye surgery

In November we decided to look into LASIK surgery for Vaughn. We went to a couple different places for quotes and ended up scheduling surgery for December. The day arrived and Vaughn went in for surgery;  they tried and tried to do the surgery and just couldn't do it. Apparently the conjunctiva in his eye is too loose and the laser uses suction to get a good slice. The doctor told us that in 14 years of doing this surgery, he'd NEVER seen this before! Leave it to Vaughn to be the unique patient. They decided to give him a few days to see if it would tighten back up. So on January 8th, Vaughn returned for surgery. They had the same problem in the right eye and ended up having to do a different surgery called PRK. The end result will be the same but the recovery time is much longer and there will be more pain. They were able to do the LASIK surgery in the left eye though. He as in quite a bit of pain in the PRK eye. They gave us 2 pages of instructions, one for each eye! There were different drops that had to be put in each eye every 4 hours! We ended up making him a "patch" for the PRK eye because it was hurting!

When we originally scheduled the surgery Vaughn had told me that he was excited to be able to wear sunglasses. He had never really been able to because he needed his regular glasses. When I found out that Morgan had Vaughn's name for Christmas, I asked him to find Vaughn some Aviator sunglasses. He found them and they look so good on him!
