For those of you who have never met my mom Cindy, she is the cutest thing ever. She loves to cook, watch home design shows, play with her Cockatiel Sunny, go on walks around the pond and is famous for her beef brisket, chocolate birthday cake and looking 10 years younger than she is! I love my mama.
Just a few days ago my mom noticed some black spots in her vision. She immediately went into the eye surgeon and post appointment told me this:
"I may or may not have a tear in my retina. My symptoms are a blood drop in the eye... as I look through my eye I have some floaters which look like spider legs and hazy black swirls that move around. I went to the eye surgeon last week and he couldn't see it (a tear) at that time but it's possible that it could happen at any time or not happen. I go back to him on the 24th for a re-check unless something major happens."
After hearing this about my mom I started to think how annoying it is when I get something on my contact and can't see clearly. But at least I can remove my contact! Many take their vision for granted, but it's truly an amazing gift. I can't imagine having to look through 'floaters which look like spider legs and hazy black swirls that move around'. My poor mama!
I ask for prayers that her eye would be healed. I pray that the spots go away and that a tear does not occur. I pray for wisdom for the doctors and that her symptoms would not worsen. Amen :)
Thank in advance for those that join me in praying!!!

Lisa--how scary for your mom!! I will pray for her. Did she see a retina specialist? Do you know if they did something called a fluorescein angiogram? It is a test where they put fluorescent dye in your veins and then snap pix of the blood vessels in your retina to see if there is leakage. Tell her not to hesitate to get a second opinion if she doesn't feel confident with her current doctor. Thanks for posting...XOXO

ReplyDeleteNot yet... she's going to ask her specialist about the procedure that Dawn recommended above. Hopefully they can tell her more at her follow up appointment. Thanks for asking! :)
