Marty’s Eyelid Update

Marty’s eyelid after surgery.

Marty had been scratching or rubbing on the sutures because the strands formed loops that pestered his eye. My husband got brave (Marty will scratch you without warning.), and trimmed some threads.

The eyelid looked irritated. That was worrisome, so we took Marty for a checkup. But apparently Marty was okay. In three weeks, the sutures should dissolve, and the eyelid should heal.

Marty’s stitches were removed!

 Marty’s eyelids were partially sewn together. He had a small opening at the side of his eye next to his nose. He could see through this small aperture. Now that the sutures have been removed, he’s probably more than happy that he can open his eye.

Marty recently had surgery to remove a growth on his left eyelid. He’s due for a checkup with his surgeon this week. I’ll have more information about the status of his eye and the results of the tumor biopsy. I hope his tumor is benign. Please pray for Marty. Thank you!
