His eyelid is still moving, he's just so swollen he can barely open it. He's overall very swollen, so it's hard to tell what it'll look like once it comes down (it'll probably take weeks to get a final look).
We're really here because of drainage and pain control. We'll come home with a drain almost inevitably. Even last time he was draining 4-5 ounces a day, so I'm not sure what their cut off will be this time (I don't think they know). It's frustrating to not know how long we'll be here! I'm hoping for leaving Friday, because we all know nothing happens around here on the weekend! If his pain is under control and his drainage is at acceptable levels, i don't see why we can't at least be at RMH (if we ever get in there, I guess... haven't heard a thing yet!)
About his surgery results, the doc thinks there's a chance the area in front of his ear might actually be more flat than the other side since they had to take out all the fat on that side. The difference is striking, really! I know it's hard to see in the picture.
