after eye surgery

Good morning,
   Carol is having a difficult and busy week.  We (Tendercare Van and two assistants) took her to Saginaw for the surgery on her right eye.  She has had
extremely limited vision in that eye from the brain trauma.  The retinal Surgeon
was able to extract some of the 'matter' on the retina.  Now we wait to give the
eye time to adjust, reduce swelling, and heal to find out if there is improvement  in her sight. 
Please continue your prayers and we know that she will have continued progress.   Thanks to all.  Your thoughts,  prayers, visits, and shared comments have been gratefully received.

carol and her eye surgery

    Carol is scheduled for eye surgery this week.  We will have to
take her via wheelchair and van to Saginaw to the retinal
surgeon.  We are hoping that this will help clear some of
the blurry vision in one eye for now.   If that happens Carol may be
able to see better.    Especially to read  some 'big print' and maybe
see the television screen.
  Thanks to all for the prayers and good thoughts.
Best to all   Pat Nelson (Carol's Mom)

Status for Carol Nelson - One year and one month after

It is difficult to believe that a whole and year and another month have passed

since Carol suffered the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm. We are very fortunate

that she is alive and that we see small but continued improvements in her

functionality. We (her parents and her children) hope that she is able to

continue her progress and one day be able to gain the use of her legs, feet, ankles

and her memory. Therapy continues as many days a week as she can tolerate.

Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers.
