Well op no 2 is fast approaching. We are due in Melb on tuesday 5th October. This next operation is called a "brow suspension". This is where they take skin & tendon from Ryan's upper thigh. The tendon is inserted into his upper lids and through to the top of his forhead (3 times each eye) and it pulls the top lid open. He will have three small cuts above each eye on the forhead where the tendon is held in place?!?!
Once this operation is completed he will not be able to fully close his eyes for a long time (approx 1 yr). Apparantly this does not bother children.
I am feeling a bit strange about this op. I don't know why exactly but I suppose I'm just worried. It's going to be really tough on him this time I think. But then again he coped fine last time so maybe he'll be ok. He will also look quite "different" after this op. Which is why we're doing it all I suppose but it just feels strange. I've gotten quite used to his "special eye's".
I will put another post on here next week after the operation and hopefully some photo's!

Time is fast approaching for this op#2. Ryan says he is ready for this so I am sure he will get us all through it too. He is our amazing strong little man. As Rell said we will all be there for each other.
