Jamie Hyatt sent this message (edited) today, regarding her trip to OKC, to an eye specialist:  "I thought it might be easier to update everyone at one time about my visit to the eye clinic in OKC yesterday. I had several tests done, including a sonogram on my eye.  I have many things going on:
1. A very thick cataract on my right eye that they said they only see in 85 yr olds! My right eye is the one I have little vision in due to a damaged retina from birth, but if I do not remove the cataract soon, I will not have any vision left.
2. Nystagmus, which is a condition of the eye where my eyes "wonder" and it is hard for me to focus on things in front of me due to the movement of my eyes.
3. My vision to the side is much better than my vision straight ahead and that is why I turn my head to see things along with the fact that holding my head to the side helps slow the muscle movement in my eyes from the nystagmus.
After the cataract is removed (it may take 2 surgeries to get it all) they will start the surgeries to tie down the muscles in the back of my eyes to help hold my eyes in focus.
The right eye will never have normal vision, unless science has a wonderful breakthrough in the treatment, or replacement of the Retina, but at least maybe they are going to be able to help me see better than I am today!
Please keep me in your prayers as I travel back and forth to Oklahoma City and go through the surgeries.
Thanks everyone, you are all so special to me!"

Her liver has lacerations and her pancreas is enlarged, her liver enzymes have doubled, from what they should be, and she is running fever..which is not a good sign.

Lesa Bulls sent this update on Kenneth McDonald: "He is resting comfortably on his new air bed in ICU....still on the ventilator. He has been diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome....a complication from his lung infection. The recovery will be slow and he will be supported with oxygen for some time while his lungs heal. He has also been diagnosed with diabetes. Keeping his blood sugar under control has been a challenge. First it was too high, yesterday...too low. Diabetes also slows the healing process."

John Urbano has been moved to PRMC/North - 3rd Floor for rehab. He had taken a turn for the worse...and then gotten better! He is VERY happy to be back in Paris.
