Lexie having eye surgery

Please keep Lexie in your prayers Wednesday morning. She's had something wrong with her eye and we just thought she had scratched it. At first we thought it was healing, but it's actually gotten worse.

Today we were sent to an opthalmologist at Children's and discovered she has something lodged in the white of her eye. (We're still not sure how it happened.) They need to put her under anesthesia to get it removed and she may need stitches depending upon how deeply it's lodged. Yikes! Poor baby.

We first noticed some burst blood vessels on Thanksgiving, but didn't see the cut until the weekend. It didn't seem to bother her until the last couple of days. It's high up on the white of her eye above the pupil. Last night she cried for a couple of hours and wouldn't stop rubbing it. I'm not sure how well she'll sleep tonight. She can't eat, including formula, after midnight. And she's only allowed clear fluids from midnight to 6 am.

Please keep her in your prayers during the procedure at 10:30 am. We're praying for no complications, an easy removal, no infection and little or no pain afterwards. Thank you!
