Son's Eye Injury I would like to ask whoever is willing, to pray for our 19 year-old son, Matthew. He was wiping down some basement walls last Thursday with ammonia. He set the bottle up on the pillar above him and when he went to grab the bottle, he grabbed it wrong and it spilled into his face. He was alone but managed to flush his eyes and dial 911. They did all they could for him at the ER and then sent him on to a specialist. The doctor does not see any permanent damage to the eye and told him the vision should return in 48 hours. Now, 5 days later not only has the sight not returned, but has gotten worse. He has no vision in the right eye and can only see shapes out of the left. He was supposed to call this morning for an appointment with another specialist for today. I have not heard yet if he got an appointment or not. It's difficult to not be there for this and have to wait for news. |
im so sorry i hope everything works out and he gets well soon!!! |
I'm so so so sorry to hear this. I am sending prayers your way for a full recovery for your son. :hands: Please keep us updated. |
Im so sorry about your son. Please keep us updated ! |
Our daughter had an eye injury a few years ago I know how concerned you are. I will keep him in my prayers! Our daughter was hit in the eye by someone whipping one of those glow in the dark things around. It tore her eye in two places. Her vision did return but she has to be checked yearly to make sure it gets no worse. The eye however is changed cosmetically. So she has one blue eye and one black eye, the pupil is always large and she has to wear sunglasses even in winter. I am so sorry this happened to your son they are so young to have these things happen. |
Sorry to hear about your daughter's injury, but so glad that it healed! Thank you, everyone, for your prayers. I really do appreciate them, more than you know. This child has had some really serious problems all his life and this just has gotten to me. He's survived seizures and an auto accident where he rolled his vehicle 5 times and was airlifted, all within the past 2 years. It just seems like it will never end. I keep telling myself that God really has a plan for his life. Thank goodness our other 4 live a pretty quiet life! |
How scarry to have that happen! I will pray for your son! |
Thoughts and prayers being sent to your son.... |
Prayers definetly coming your way. |
I will pray for him to heal fully. |
Sending much love and prayers your way :) God Speed |
Thank you everyone. We talked to him last night and there has been no change. The doctor did not see him yesterday. He was told to wait until his Friday appointment. He's going to call back today and try again. He's scared (though he hasn't said that) and discouraged. I'm a librarian so he asked if I could bring him out some audio books this weekend so he has something to do. My DH just sent me a text message this morning saying that he's really struggling today. He's been the one that's been positive and reminding us all that it might just take time to heal. |
Praying his eyesight returns soon. I know it must be so scary. |
Oh dear I am so sorry to hear of your son's injury. How scary!!! As a mother of a 19 yr old son I am so sorry. He must be terrified. Sending prayer his and your way that all goes well and he soon regains his sight. |
I will be praying for him tonight hon, Hugs. |
