Help Rynne save her eyeball
Donation protected
Hi my name is Brittany and I am fundraising for my dear friend, Rynne Roark. Rynne has been battling eye trouble for the last month when she learned she had a detached retina. She has now learned she must have emergency surgery because the retina has detected to the macula, now the macula has fluid under it and pulling the retina away even more. The surgery is costly and the recovery is long. If you know Rynne, you know she loves BIG. Let's show her our love and pull together to get her through this hard time.
She has had amazing care from John T. DellaCroce, M.D. at the Retina Center of Arkansas. They have done everything they can do there for her left eye. Dr. DellaCroce tried to laser the retina two weeks ago to repair the retina. However, a hole was found in themacula. He did a laser treatment to try and prevent surgery. Unfortunately, the retina pulled away in spots that weren’t lasered and the liquid pushed away from the retina has now filled the macula and is pushing the macula away from the retina and that is why the surgery is necessary right away. If she doesn't get the surgery, she will lose sight in that eye.
Here is a bit about the recovery. Rynne has been in what she calls the "7-Up" position, think head down, thumbs up for this whole time and there will be more of that to come after the surgery
Here is a little description about the surgery. You can read more here .
