Hello Friends,

 I'm having a Corneal Transplant (Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty/ DMEK)  tomorrow at 11:00a.m. to correct my Fuch's Dystrophy and removal of a small cataract. I'm very apprehensive about it and would appeciate your prayers please. I'm going to have my first grandchild ( a girl) within the next two weeks and I pray it's in God's plan that I'll be abel to meet her. Thank you for your blessings in advance.

I promise I will pray for you, Starpolisher.  I'm sure your sugery will be a complete success.  You will soon be using your beautiful "new" eyes to "see" God's answer to your prayers.  Look for it.  Smiley Happy

Prayers coming your way.

 

My sister had a corneal transplant about 2 years ago.  I went with her to the doctor's visits and her doctor let me look at his neat little stitches through that heavy duty microscope thingy.  Boy, that was so cool.

 

Not to make light of your situation, but thankfully this surgery is common place and very successful  You will be able to enjoy your new bundle and see her though "new" eyes soon.

 

Blessings to you.

  " I just came on and your post was the 1st I have seen". 

You have been placed on my loving prayer LIST.

 I have no doubts, in my entire being, that anything will go negative.

Please understand, if not known at this time, Ophthalmologists ( Eye M.D.s) perform more than _ 40,000 corneal transplants each year in the USA.

 

*Of all transplants surgery done today-including heart, lung, and kidney- corneal transplants are the MOST common and SUCCESSFUL*

I will be with you in spirit.... and you Heart just get ready for that little grand daughter. 

                   God bless our dear 'starpolisher'. 

I am familiar with KERATOCONUS and FUCHS' from my researches through my medical association.

 

..."later after the patch(s) come off, I will check back and you can ask questions". 

God, our Heavenly physician stand close with STARPOLISHER, guide the doctor's with Your Healing Hands. In our Lord Jesus we put our trust all the way, with You, our dear Lord. AMEN
