Adam saw the specialist again today. He has been done with all of his medicine for over 24 hours now. They see no more “issues” inside the eye. All is healed, they say. They sound fairly sure that he is recovered to his max at this point. We hope he is WRONG. We are still going to pray for more recovery.

Before the accident his vision was beyond perfect at 20/15. His vision is now 20/50 and they recommended he get glasses. We are going to hold onto the prescription for the glasses for a couple-three weeks and then decide what to do. I can tell Adam is disappointed. I am, too but…we have to remember that he still does have sight at least…it could have been a heck of a lot worse.

You ALL rock!! SOOOO many people were praying for Adam yesterday and we both thank you immensely. I was able to get him into another specialist and things were changed up a bit. We are very thankful there is no tear to the retina or iris as that was initially a thought after I spoke with an opthalmoligist that specializes in burns to the eyes (he wasn’t available yesterday but WAS super nice and visited with me on the phone).

Last night when he held out his arms his wedding ring was blurry (of course I was just glad at least he could see it so he KNOWS it is there…teasing). He was having difficulty focusing even on a computer screen or a text message on his cell. BUT, today is a different story…MUCH improved he says. He is blessed, we are blessed and he wants me to tell you that he thanks you for all of your prayers.

Undoubtedly there will most likely be some damage with loss of vision but we are hoping for minimal minimal minimal so we’ll continue to hold on and wait and see. If anything gets worse again this weekend he will see that burn specialist on Monday.

Blessings to you all!!!

a little giggle for your day:

The blonde went to the eye doctor to have her eyes checked for glasses. The doctor directed her to read various letters with the left eye while covering the right eye.

The blonde was so mixed up on which eye was which that the eye doctor in disgust took a paper sack with a hole to see through, covered up the appropriate eye and asked her to read the letters.

As he did so, he noticed the blonde had tears streaming down her face.

“Look”, said the doctor, “there’s no need to get emotional about getting glasses.”

“I know”, agreed the blonde, “but I kind of had my heart set on wire frames.”

Good morning all~

Just a quick note to ask you to say a prayer for Adam this morning. His left eye has taken a turn for the worse. He says his vision is 75% worse this morning than it was before we went to bed last night and that he can only see a foot at the most in front of him. I am working to try and find a different/better specialist for him to see. There is a specialist that works on patients with burns to their eyes specifically but he isn’t available today!!! Ugh!
