Eye Surgery

So Keaton has a durmoid cyst in the corner of his eye. We started seeing it about a year ago but weren't quite sure what it was. Finally after showing the doctor more than once they figured out it was a cyst and referred us to an Opthamologist, he sent us for a CAT scan. Poor kid had to have an I.V. and be held down. Well the films showed it was a good size behind the surface of the skin so he had to have surgery. She put the incision in the crease of his eye lid so it would be less noticable. Here are pics from that fun day.


The car ride to surgery center, we had to be there at 6:oo am. I was hoping I could just pull him out of bed asleep since he couldn't eat or drink but he woke up and had no idea what he was in for.

We put him in his little gown and booties, at this point he was upset he didn't want to change his clothes and maybe he sensed it was a doctors office.

They had me lay with him in the bed of the recovery room as he came out of the anesthesia. Poor baby was very confused and it took about an hour after we went home before he had complete control of his arms and legs again.


This is Keaton the day after surgery going in for a follow up appointment. It looks like he got beat up! It's hard to see in the small pic but if you click on it and make it larger you can see the purple eye. The doctor said all is well.
