Some of you may know this, but last Friday my mom had to have emergency eye surgery. She had noticed something weird going on with her vision and at first thought it had to do with her new glasses. But as the week went on, she realized something was not right. She set up an appointment with her eye doctor for Friday morning, and dad went with her. As soon as the doctor looked into her eye, he stopped. He told her that her retina was detaching and that she needed to get to Little Rock as soon as possible.
So that's what my weekend consisted of. Friday was spent all day at the Eye Center in Little Rock. Saturday, we were at home, helping mom recooperate. Dad left Sunday for his banking school, so luckily I was available this week to stay with mom. She's not allowed to pick up anything over ten pounds (sorry, no Landon picking up for a while), nor is she allowed to stoop or do any sudden movements. Now, if anyone knows my mom, you know what a difficult task I have trying to corral her. I think she's as ADHD as some of her students!
Well, she's has been ordered to stay relaxed for another three weeks, which means her summer vacation started early this year. She's doing great too. We went to the doctor this morning, and he said the retina is back in place and everything looks like it's progressing as it should. Keep her in your prayers, though, because this life of leisure won't suit her for long.
