Lasik Weekend

At the beginning of the year, we decided to get Lasik eye surgery for Travis. He has worn glasses or contacts since the 5th grade and was more recently having problems wearing contacts for any long period of time. We both were pretty nervous about the procedure but confident we found a good surgeon. We decided to have Hoopes Vision perform the surgery up in Sandy, Utah. So we stayed with our friend Nick's parents who live up the street from the office and made the 2.5 hour trip to Sandy. The surgery was pretty intense to watch. I was able to take some pictures from behind the viewing windows. Notice his eyeball on the TV screen in the background- so unnerving to watch! He was numbed up on his eye and was given some drugs to calm him/make him a little loopy, so he didn't feel any of the poking and slicing etc. As I watched the fine detailed hand of the opthamologist I kept thinking that there was no way I could ever be one myself! So much liability and fine details. It was truly amazing. The surgery went very well and he has 20/20 vision as opposed to the 20/800 he had before. It's such a miracle and blessing. He loves it and so happy all has worked out well.






While we were in the area, we introduced Dallen to his Aunt Sarah, Uncle David, cousin Jacob, frauntie Jocie and frauntie Becca (that's friend and aunt put together). :) We ran lots of errands and spent lots of time in the car, hence the picture on the front seat of my car. He's so happy in the mornings so we caught a cute smile of him in bed once too. It was so fun seeing everyone. We were pretty exhausted by the end of the trip from being on the go so much and happy to get Dallen back home, but overall it was a great trip!
