Sometimes : Sometimes people have their eyes slightly open when they sleep. I'm interested to know more about the soap. Was it used to induce vomiting because you thought there might be a blockage?

Check with doctor: I would recommend seeing the doctor who did the surgery or at least calling for explaination.
