This is a picture of Dan's eye after the initial injury---if you were me, you would think it's just a blackeye!
as some of you might of know, Dan went into surgery yesterday for repair of his facial fracture...I haven't had a chance to catch people up, but here is the story.
We were on a family vacation with my side in Cancun, Mexico last week. Second day into the vacation, Dan was playing water polo and within 5 minutes into the game he ran out and told me someone had hit him in the eye with an elbow. He got really concerned because he couldn't really see out of that right eye very well. I checked it out and to me it was just a black eye coming to form. Dan was more concerned for fractures and permanent damage of double vision. I kept telling him he is just paranoid because he knows too much being an eye surgeon. I think I talked him out of it until the descend on the way him. Dan started having more double vision and eye pain. He went into work and got a CT scan and had shown that he had fractured two parts in the eye bone that houses the eyeball. Monday, his boss looked at his scan and said he needed repaired.
Tuesday- we went in around 10 in the morning and Maureen had flown out the night before to help me with the kids. Dan was in surgery by 1pm for an hour and a half. The whole surgery was done really well. The scary part is that the fracture had pushed his bone further back closer to his brain and some of the fractures were shattered. They had to go in and put in a plate to stabilize the fractures. Dan is now home and doing well. He has a black eye and some bleeding, but overall he is okay. Please continue to pray for his recovery. It was quite a scare, but God is faithful for giving Dan the wisdom to know that something is wrong and providing great care to get the surgery done. Dan is probably feel almost back to normal as in that he is not sleeping half of the day or feeling just spent. Mo left this morning, she was a great help for me and helping out with the kids.
