9.1

Lower lid reconstruction got underway at 8:10 am. It's a little different for us in the fact Jack is with us today due to his turn with the GI bug so providing a very welcomed distraction.

Our hope for the surgery is he has enough skin to reconstruct both lower lids, but since his right eye is so severe this is a very high likelihood we will either
1-have to allow the skin to stretch a little and do this procedure again a little later or
2-he will take some skin from the top of his collar bone (typically taken from behind the ear, but since we will eventually have reconstruction there as well not as good of an option for us)

This should take about 2 hours...
