My youngest sister, Emily has been having some issues with her eye swelling and her vision being blurry over the past few days. Several years ago, both of her retina's detached and she had surgeries on both eyes. Today, she saw a specialist and he informed her that the buckle in her right eye that is attaching her retina is hemorrhaging. They are pretty sure that they will need to remove the buckle and they are hopeful that there is enough scar tissue to keep the retina attached. If there is not, there is a risk of blindness in this eye. She will go back to the specialist on November 12. Forgive me for not knowing a whole lot about the details on this--there are a lot of intricacies with the eyes that I just don't understand. Our prayers are for the hemorrhaging to stop and that if surgery is necessary that the retina will stay attached.
