Quick LASIK Update

Some of you know about our little scare last night, so I thought I'd give you a quick update...

Dan started having bad pain in his left eye at about 5 last night. It gave him a headache (not a migraine though, thankfully!). When he got home from work, he took some Ibuprofen and ate dinner. We thought that would kick it out (the doctor prescribed over-the-counter pain meds for any discomfort). An hour or two later, the pain had not subsided at all. We called the after-hours operator to see what we should do. The doctor gave us a call a few minutes later. Since Dan didn't have significant vision change, it probably was not thing but some dust, fuzzy, fumes, etc. in the eye that is irritating it. I guess if there was significant damage, Dan wouldn't be able to see at all! We were supposed to get in to see the doctor the next day if the pain was still there. Dan says it hurts a little today, but it is not nearly as bad as yesterday. So we are just waiting until our 2 week appointment unless something else happens. So that's what happened...nothing really, but we were nervous for a few hours!

I'm praying for you two! (mostly Dan at the moment, but feel free to kick in prayer requests if you have them, Em. ;) Looking forward to hearing good things from your check-up!

Love,

Thanks for the report - been wondering. We are still praying, the kids are so cute in always remembering Dan, Mr. Liabenow, Erin and her studies, Betsey and finals, E & D and their marriage, L, L, G & C and their new house - etc., etc.

Love you two!

Ummm...I heard a nasty rumor that the pain was worse and there was some swelling. Is someone spreading vicious lies or is Emily failing to update the family?? Still praying! Sorry you're not feeling well, Dan-O!
