Terry Falwell was playing racquetball last Wednesday and apparently sustained a pretty serious eye injury. He went to the emergency room who sent him to a specialist. The specialist determined that the eye was filling w/ blood but wanted to see if it could clear up on its own. It didn't so, this morning, Terry is in Charlottesville undergoing a surgical procedure to "wash" the blood out of the eye. The doctor is very experience but the procedure does carry some risk. I'm sure Terry and his family would appreciate your prayers.

Thanks to Bob Good for keeping us updated.

sorry to hear that- not a good summer so far... you guys understand.

thoughts and prayers to Terry and the whole family, and for a speedy recovery for him.

[A.G.]

Oh my gosh. My prayers certainly with Terry and the family. Terry is a good guy with a passion for LU and the athletic success.

[TIMSCAR20]

Man, I didn't know about this. I will definitely be praying for Terry and his sight.

[PAmedic]

on a positive note- I am living proof of the fact that, with proper intervention and follow-up care, even a serious ocular injury CAN and WILL heal rapidly and fully.

[Lemonade]

I'll definitely keep Terry in my prayers!

Per Bob Good:

Everyone,

Terry had what appears to have been successful surgery this morning, and seems to be doing reasonably well. He will have a check-up tomorrow morning, and hopefully is on the way to a full recovery.

Thanks from him for your prayers.

tell Bob thanks and keep the u/d's coming!

Wow, what a tough summer for the Falwells. I'm glad to hear the surgery went well. That's the type of injury that certainly stops you in your tracks until its resolved.

[Libertine]

Again, from Bob Good:

Terry is recovering from the surgery that he had this past Friday, but the blood in his eye has not cleared up as much as they had hoped it would by this point. They will continue to observe it over the next few days, at which time he will have to have more major surgery if it does not clear up on its own.

Please continue to pray for his healing.

Thanks!

[Sly Fox]

Thanks for passing along the update. We'll keep him in our prayers.

[Libertine]

I caught up with Terry driving around campus this morning. He's doing a lot better and the docs think his vision will eventually return to normal.

[TDDance234]

Yikes.

Glad to see he's doing better.

[PAmedic]

great news- please pass along our well wishes.

[TIMSCAR20]

Got an email from him earlier in the week after I sent one to check on him and he is thankful to all of us for the prayers and being able to finally drive again
