Uncle John could use some prayers.

Hi Mary
We missed seeing you at Millie's funeral. Was good, as usual,to visit with all.
I thought I would just drop a note and tell you about John's eye. He had surgery on the retina as he has had a couple times before with good results. Well, this time a staff infection was introduced into the eye through the instruments used. As soon as he lost his vision - next day - we went back to the Dr who injected a couple medications. It turned out to be a bad staff, but one that responded to treatment. Unfortunately, the toxins from the infection caused the blood vessels to be damaged and he has little vision in that eye. At first, the Dr said to wait a couple months to see if there would be vision but last week did tests and there is little that can be done. Naturally he is quite upset. He drove today for the first time and will have to learn to drive with one eye. He's being fitted with new glasses that won't break so he can't damage the other eye. Between putting drops into the eye and driving to Madison for treatment every other day, we've had a busy couple weeks. The hospital and doctors are very apologetic but the damage is done. He needed Millie's prayers, I guess.
Other than that, we are doing well. Curling is done so we can stay home. Rusty's wheelchair curling team came out 4th in The World's Championships in Vancouver - he is coach of the team.

Take care Florence and John
