Request for healing vibes: My sister's SO is having emergency eye surgery right now. UPDATE!!

Last edited Wed Feb 25, 2026, 02:53 PM - Edit history (1)

He was hit in the face with a basketball by a kindergartner at the school where he works.

It was a "prank" by the kid that went horribly wrong. I'm sure the kid (5 years old) had no concept of the potential harm.

But, if this surgery isn't successful, he may lose his sight in that eye.

He has to be on complete bedrest for a week.

Even coughing or sneezing is a risk!

BUT! Doc says he should make a full recovery!

Thanks all!!!

I love you all so much!!

Goodness. That sounds like a weird occurrence. Stranger things, etc. (Like it would happen to ME!!!).

So glad to hear that things are trending in the right direction!
