Maddie and Ian accidentally ran headlong into each other on Sunday night. The top of Ian's head caught Maddie right on the cheekbone.
We thought maybe she had a slight concussion but after a CT scan Monday morning, we have found out that she has fractured a bone in her cheek.
We had an appointment with the surgeon, Dr. Zadoo on Monday afternoon. He said she has fractured the very fragile bone that supports the eyeball. If it was just the fractured bone, he would just let it heal on its own. In Maddie's case, it seems like the eye muscle is getting caught in the fracture, making it painful to move her eye up and down.
We got to the hospital at 6 a.m. this morning and they took Maddie into surgery at about 7:30. The surgeon came out at about 8:30 and said everything had gone well. He said the fracture was more like a ledge and he was a little concerned that the fracture might have scraped or ripped her eye muscle. He said we will just have to keep an eye on it. He put some sort of absorbable thing over the fracture so that the muscle won't rub anymore or get caught.
We are home now and plan to sleep the day away!
Keep us in your prayers!
