Asking for Prayers, and Good Thoughts for my husband -- Sisters in PINK
=======================================
Last Wednesday during a walk, my husband, Pete walked into a tree branch .. within a few hours we found ourselves at the ER. Hours later having been told that my husband 'iris' had been damaged -- I set out on a journey of locating specialists -- 9 hours in traffic and 2 days spent in exam rooms -- my dear husband has a detached retinal, pressure issues (should be no higher than 18, Pete's eye pressure is at 32) ..blood vessel issues as well, -- which means Pete can go blind at any time.
I realize that we can all live with the sight of 1 eye, however, Pete lost more than 70% of his sight in his right eye, due to a childhood injury.
Emergency surgery is pending .. and the inflammation of Pete's eye. Dr. Kerry Assil will perform Pete's surgery at 10:00 p.m. due to the severity of our situation. First surgery will be to replace Pete's lens -- in hopes of saving and protecting his iris, as well as getting embedded debris from his eye. 2nd and possible 3rd surgery pending.
Please keep us in good thoughts and prayers this week.
Thank you ...
Gentle hugs,
Vicki Sam

Sending thoughts and prayers your way!
I hope the doctors will be able to save your husband's eye. I really appreciate you posting this because I have lots of trees on my property and you have just alerted me to the dangers of not cutting the lower branches. I never would have thought of that. Please keep us posted when you can. We are here for you!
