Guthrie says doctors were “afraid my retina would detach” (via toofab)
"Charley threw a toy train right at my eye, and it tore my retina," Guthrie told her co-anchors over the phone. "It happened last week, actually, and then I lost my vision in my right eye about 24 hours later, and then it turned out to be kind of serious. They were afraid my retina would detach, so they told me to just take it easy, and they've been doing a bunch of laser procedures, trying to avoid having to do the full surgery.""I'm so grateful to the doctors.
Guthrie likened the blockage to "putting Vaseline on a lens" and said even the doctors "couldn't tell the nature of the injury" at first. However, she said they eventually were able to diagnose the problem and are currently "trying to weld back this tear in the retina very carefully and really trying so hard to avoid the retina detaching and avoid having to do a major surgery.
"I'm actually still hoping I can do the parade tomorrow," she said. "I'm not supposed to jump up and down or anything because it's kind of literally hanging by a thread. But I'm very positive because I think it's going to be okay." Guthrie added that Charley doesn't fully comprehend the severity of the situation because "he's 2" and "doesn't even know what he did."
"I wouldn't want to make him feel bad about it," she explained. "But it's funny 'cause he hears me talking about it, and he has no idea. I was FaceTiming with my mom to tell her, and he came running in and said, 'I did it! I did it!'"
