Hi everyone,

Ravi had his surgery June 30th and is recovering now.
He had a rough time for the first two days, since he
developed bronchitis the day after surgery. I had to
watch the clock, giving him 4 different types of medicines
each day, and he is still getting the eye ointment. I
have to put it in his eye for a few more days. He's
going to his dad's house, so he will have to do it then.

Ravi's eye is still bloody looking, in fact worse looking
than it was after surgery, but the doctor said that was
par for the course. Overall, he is healing, both inside
and out, and Ravi told me he doesn't have any more double
vision now. Isn't that fabulous?

He was going to swim today, but because his eye doesn't
look good enough to me, he isn't going to. It will be
some time before he can do sports, so I hope and pray
that for Ravi's sake, his dad takes things nice and slow
no matter how much Ravi feels like he can do. An injury
to his eye would set Ravi back drastically.

Lakshmi is also going with Ravi. I have never been without her for one month. I don't know how I will cope. It hurts
already to think about it, but I know when she is back home
she and I will both be very happy. Ravi is older and that
makes the visit easier on me.
