I try not to complain too terribly much about hospital stays, but after our last one I was really not interested in staying overnight unless absolutely necessary. The plan was to send us home unless there were any complications and we were out the door by noon-home by 1pm. I can't say whether it's because we are home or whether it was just the surgery in general but Sam is doing phenomenally well.
This picture is from the recovery room in the hospital where he is very tuned into some Penguins on TV. He almost immediately was saying he was hungry and wanting to eat.
True to our surgery ritual we picked up Chipotle for dinner and Sam was all over it ready to eat and sitting at his table, chowing down. 
We have had a little oozing (as expected) but I tried to take a closer pic so you can see. There are stitches below his lower lid & above his upper lid. It is unreal the difference it makes and he looks so good. Our swelling should peak at about 36 hours, but I can really tell what a difference it has made.

good looking eyelids! Must be SO nice for everyone to sleep in their own beds tonight - nighty night!
He looks great! Glad you all are home and doing well and we hope everything continues to go smoothly. Love to you all!
Wow, the eyelids look great! I can't believe what a noticable difference there is already!
I'm so glad to know that everything went well and that Sam is recovering nicely. I'm sure it was a huge relief to be able to go home right away. Get some good rest!
