Thank you for the prayers. My dad just called and let me know that they are already back home. It is a two hour drive, each way. Dr. Eichenbaum (the surgeon) said that the eye was severely infected, although the graft he had last week had actually begun to take. The infection was overtaking his eye.

They inserted a silicone prosthesis, then sewed the eye shut. I had told my mom last night to tell Dr. Eichenbaum that in addition to praying for Darcy, I was praying for him too. She said they started talking about my rescue work and that he told her that he and his wife had just rescued and adopted a 9 year old Golden Retriever. I knew I liked him from the things Mom and Dad had said about him!

Darcy will go back to see him in 3 weeks, at his office in Columbia, for a recheck, but he should be fine, once he gets through the pain. No more eye drops, no more e-collar and he will be happy about that!!!

Liz, I'm going to have to search out some Darcy pictures for you. When my computer crashed, I lost them all, but I have them on CD....problem is finding them!!!!
