Getting ready for surgery again

We visited Lane's eye doctor/surgeon on December 26, had his vision checked (which is perfect) and scheduled his next surgery. The main objective of this next surgery is to lift his lid again with the hope it will carry him over for ~two years (but who knows). The surgery is scheduled for Feb. 7. During the surgery, the plan is for his surgeon to first try to tighten the current rod/sling that is there which should thereby raise his lid (we are hoping for 2mm). This option will be minimally invasive, but has a less certain positive end result. If he is unable to tighten the current structure due to tissue and such that has developed around the rod, then he will remove the current sling from his brow,  take Lane's own fascia from his thigh, and replace the sling in his brow with Lane's own fascia. This will be a more involved procedure, but could have a more certain positive result and possibly and longer effect of holding the lid up.Unfortunately, nothing is certain in terms of how good the end result will look or how long it will last, but we have had excellent luck so far so we are optimistic. Will let you know how it goes after Feb. 7!
