Just a quick update-
Gabe's surgery went really well! He's doing great. The eye doctor said everything went perfectly. It's a little scary looking (all the blood-shot-ness... but his eyes are already working together!) It will be about two weeks for all the redness to be gone- but the doctor says it will be completely healed within a week. Gabe is being a real trooper- especially since we are watching him like hawks and not letting him rub his eyes!!
FYI- Gabe had Strabismus surgery to correct his esotropia of the left eye:

Be careful if you're squeamish... this link explains the eye surgery

The Gastro-Doc also said everything looked great! While they had him under for the eye surgery the doctor did an endoscopy with biopsies. He said everything looked good- no inflammation or any physical indication of distress. We'll get the biopsy results on Monday- I'll post an update. Just in case you were wondering...
