Surgery recovery update (June 14)
Lucas has pretty much fully recovered from his surgery last week. His eyes are no longer swollen; he can open them both and see as well as he did before the surgery. It’s still hard to tell whether the surgery has had the intended impact of making his eyes less dry, in part because we’ve been applying goopy antibiotic ointment three times a day. But there is less redness which is a good sign.
It’s now a week later and he still has black eye on the left side. The upshot is that he’s gotten a lot of mileage out of a joke: when people asking him what happened he says, deadpan, “I got in a fight. You should see the other guy.” Then he smirks as the questioner cracks up. I think he’s kind of sad to see the black eye go because he’ll no longer be able to tell that joke.

Lucas,
I’m so happy to hear you are recovering well. It’s a funny joke but I’m sure you’ll come up with more! Make sure they spoil you with TV while you are healing!

Hi Lucas,
I’m really computer dumb. We wanted to include a message with our picture. Hope you get it.
We’re sending you all our love and super vibes to get well soon.

Glad to see he’s doing well and keeping his sense of humor! And, he can always tell the joke, you just have to use a bit of eye shadow to re-create the black eye. ;) Take care you guys!

LOL! I love that he’s making a joke of the eye — and so glad he can see again! What an amazing, sweet, tough kid. Love that guy.
