Eye Update

Well it turns out that I don't have pink eye after all...

On Wednesday, the day after my pink eye diagnosis, my eye pain and inflammation continued to worsen, and my vision began to blur. Thursday morning I could hardly see out of that eye and we headed to the doctor again. He re-diagnosed it as Anterior Uveitis, an inflammation inside my eye, with unknown causes. It's pretty serious and can lead to blindness if not treated quickly.

Needless to say, I'm on a strong round of drugs, both oral and topical. This morning the pain and swelling is much, much better, but the doctor is concerned that my vision is not showing signs of improving; it's actually gotten worse since yesterday. There is clouding on my cornea and on my lens. The doctor says both should improve as the inflammation continues to go down, but he is most concerned about the clouding on the lens. We see him again tomorrow.

I really appreciate your kind comments and prayers. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. Specifically pray that the clouding on the lens of my eye would clear. I know that I am in God's hands and all that He is doing in my life is good, but it's still scary, and I need more of His peace.

Love,
Jessica
