My dear husband went to the hospital this morning because he had been having blurry vision in his left eye all weekend. He had started getting "floaters" in his vision and was having a hard time seeing at all. He went to an eye care center this morning and they sent him to a specialist. Apparantly, he had a large tear in the retina of his left eye. After they dilated his pupils and had a good assesment of the situation, they decided he needed immediate laser eye surgery! What a hard time to be on opposite sides of the country. It was very hard not being able to be there for him today, but I hung by the phone for any information. He called finally this afternoon when he returned to his hotel and told me everything that had occurred. I am relieved that his retina did not completely separate, which is what the doctor said would have happened if he had let it go a few more days. Aside from his eye being sore, he should be fine. The doctor said that the blurry vision and the floaters should clear up within the week, so his vision will return to normal. It is so hard having him so far away. I miss him so much. When things like this happen I long to be next to him, to be his support. I am grateful, though, that the Lord watches over Scott, and He was there with him today as he experienced this procedure with his eye.
