My mom

Standard

Just a short post to let you know that my mom still has a bad infection in her right eye, which was the worst one when she had cataract surgery a few months ago. Yesterday she had to go to the eye doctor and now later this afternoon, I have to take her to a retinal specialist. I’m hoping he just puts her on antibiotics. The infection is playing havoc with her glaucoma too. We only have to go to the end of her town to the newer doctor. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she’s had a rough 3 weeks and is scared.
I worked on my Christmas cards yesterday-got them printed at the copy shop and did a little cutting and gluing on them. I’ll be sending them off in the next few days. I’ll show you how they turned out soon.
~Update~
This was a really long day of sitting and waiting. My mom saw the new eye doctor and does have to have surgery to remove the infected jelly like substance called vitreous humor fill the space between lens and retina behind her lens implant. She also needs a stitch in a tear in the corner of her cornea. He wouldn’t give us a clear answer how she got an infection there. He’ll also inject the area with antibiotics. This will probably happen next Wednesday. I’m praying she’ll be able to see out of that eye again as it’s just a blur right now.

  1. My prayers are with your mom, dear Dianne. I can well imagine how scared she is. My mom has a lot of problems with her eyes so I know what a worry it can be. Can’t wait to see your handmade cards! xoxo
