Kim's little mishap

On Monday evening (5/11), Kim was sitting on her bed reaching for a drink on the ledge behind her. She was closer to the edge of the bed than she thought & fell off the bed headfirst onto the floor. Since then, she has had a headache and been dizzier than normal. Additionally, her vision is less clear than it was before the fall. Kim has spoken with the doctor, who is pretty sure that the fall did not cause anything terrible to happen (such as opening up her macular hole). He hypothesizes that the blood remaining in the bottom of her eye (as a result of the lasering he did) came loose and has now mixed with the clear fluid in her eye. Therefore, she would now be looking through this murky liquid, reducing her clarity. She will be going to the eye doctor in the morning to have him check it just to be sure. She is, with good reason, concerned about the change in her vision and will be more comfortable once he looks at the eye. Never a dull moment! Keep praying!

On another note, thank you again for all the help this week. A HUGE thank you to Aunt Mary Ellen who came to stay Wednesday through Friday while Steve traveled!!!

We will post again tomorrow after the dr. visit!
