Slit lamp exam at around 11 today, for a value of slit lamp exam that required four adult hands and a lot of screaming "PLEASE PLEASE QUIT IT I DO NOT WANT TO OPEN MY EYE!!"

The Cliff Notes version:

Robin's eye is healing well. Provided there is no late infection, he will keep the eye.

To continue to heal well, Robin will be under the following limitations:

-strict activity restriction
(no recess, no gym; can he /walk/? I asked, and was told they'd really rather he didn't)
-steroid drops four times a day for several weeks
-antibiotic drops four times a day for another week
-oral antibiotic twice a day for five more days
-clear plastic shield at night, naps, and school for at least one more week
-thursday follow-up with the guy who did the surgery
-weekly follow-up thereafter

Vision is still in question; Robin was able to open the eye fully today, and continues to open the eye under close supervision.

Lillian continues to wheeze. I have started steroids and will take her to the doctor tomorrow. I have been refraining from asking for help from those of you with children; this is a really virulent whatever-it-is (I suspect pneumonia). However, there will be plenty of opportunities to help in future weeks; apparently the eye surgeon does not see patients in the morning, and his latest afternoon appt is generally 3:20. (!!)

My mother is coming out for two weeks to help us out.
