December 20, 2010 here is an updated picture of Rick's eye - he said he felt you all needed to see that almost all the purple is gone - the side of his face is extremely green however.

He also has been suffering with some redness in the face and we have a medicine that he uses for this - he had just gotten out of the shower and scrubbed it, too. But he had not shaved, yet.

Ohh, red and green. Good Christmas colors, I am not sure I like those colors on a face though. I am glad that he is healing and hope that he does not fall again.

So glad that he is on the mend. It takes so long for healing to begin when there was such a bad fall.

Shirlene: The shiner looks much better! The smile is priceless!!! You continue to be in my prayers, especially at this time of the year. If any thing can help prayer will. Our lives can take such twists and turns but our faith is what gives us hope for a better world.

I'm glad I checked in ~ What a wonderful improvement. Now he will not out shine Rudolph. lol It's good this didn't cause a set back.

Anita, thank you so much - I am glad you checked, too. As for the set back - that happened with the series of seizures and the mini-stroke - but he has had more movement in his arm recently - so that part is improving greatly. *4u

Boy does that look better. He's not part of the Christmas tree now. hehehe... Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas. Shirlene, is he allergic to any med's for his face to be red? Mine gets like that if I take something that might have too much sulfa in it. Hugs, Terre

by shirlener88 21 Dec 2010
Terre, thank you dear - he might take some slufa but I am not sure - it gets red like that after he showers and usually will level out - within an hour or so - but he had some medicine for it, too. *4U
