A Whole Year Later

I can't believe it's been a whole year since Patch went through his whole eye infection, influenza, hospital fiasco. I often think back to that ordeal and all the love that was shown our family. I still feel indebted to all those wonderful friend who took the time for us. They cooked, cleaned and made dinners for us and touched us forever in our hearts. The nurses who went over and above. The doctors who checked on Patch everyday and eased our concerns. The surgeons that did an amazing job on Patch. 

That was such a stressful time and now it's all a blur. I still get teary when I think about him being brought back to the hospital room with no medication after surgery. It's hard to think about. I remember seeing his eye and thinking he would forever have a scar, that there was no way to completely get rid of a surgical cut and stitches. I also thought he would always have his eyes look a little googly, one looked bigger than the other for a long time. 

I looked at Patch's eye lid the other night. Nothing was there. Well, a faint something but you wouldn't know unless you were looking for it. 

He is perfect. We are loved.
