Just wanted to give you an update on Dale’s progress. We went back to the retina specialist last week. Although it appears the reattachment of Dale’s retina was successful, the vision in his right eye is still very blurry, dim and distorted. Dale was still unable to see any letters on the eye chart, let alone read anything. His doctor believes this is caused by a lot of “junk” floating around inside his eye (i.e. dried blood and scar tissue from when the retina detached, and also from the surgery). His doctor recommended another eye surgery, this time to remove the fluid from inside Dale’s eye and then replace it with a saline-type solution. Although we aren’t too excited about the prospect of another surgery so soon, Dale will have a vitrectomy on Wednesday morning, Dec. 20th. We hope this surgery does the trick. Keep your fingers crossed and please say a prayer for a successful surgery! Dale’s eyesight returning would be an awesome Christmas gift, indeed!! Thanks to all for your positive thoughts, kind words, prayers and blessings!
