Default Update on Ron

Well as many of you know I had an incident the other day which caused me to loose my vision again. I went to the specialist today and he said it didn't look very good. He said it was early to tell for sure but he didn't hold out allot of hope for recovery. The burns went deeper than he thought at first and now shows the pupil is deformed. It also caused more retinal bleeding. He said we can do nothing but give it time and allot of TLC. Sorry to be so depressing sounding but that is what is going on for now. I have been contemplating all afternoon how I was going to let you all know and this is the only way I came up with. I will continue to listen to all the post I can during the day so if I don't comment about your carving it's not that I don't like it I can't see it. I will try and post some pictures with katy's help this weekend on what I am working on now. I will keep you posted and thank you all for your concern and prayer's.
Ron

Ron my friend I had no idea usually you email me and let me know what's going on with you but this time you had not mentioned it. Ron I am really sorry this is happening to you. As you know although most of us have not had the pleasure to meet you we all regard you as one of our friends. Of course our prayers are all with you and if attitude has anything to do with healing I am sure that you will heal once again. Hang in there my friend we are all in your corner if there is anything you need.
Please keep us posted and as Ash said if you need a better description of anything at all please let us know.
Take care my friend
Colin

I was afraid this was going to happen Ron, when you told us of the incident. There are some very desturbed people in this world and we can only hope that he recieves an appropriate repermand, though knowing the court systems, I doubt it.

Regardless...... you are in our thoughts and prayers, you are one of us so we feel your suffering, stay with us and we shall all pray for a restoration of your sight. I never give up hope, no matter how bad the odds.

Bob

Again, I am sorry Ron. It makes me angry that people can't go about living life as best as can be done without some idiot making it harder. I give you a lot of credit. You try to bounce back with what you got. So, keep that spirit alive. And with prayer, patience, and perserverance, maybe you'll healer faster and better than is expected. My prayers and hopes are with you, Ron.
