Kay Warren: Rick Has Almost Recovered

Rick Warren spent a night in the hospital after he got sap from a plant in his eyes.

Kay Warren said today that her husband Rick Warren has almost recovered from his eye injury. She said that he is able to drive and hasn't been in pain since Friday. "His eyes are just a little fuzzy," she said.

Last week, Rick was pruning in his garden when he got sap from a plant in his eyes. He had posted some updates on Twitter but has not resumed posting updates.

"The amount of agony was so extreme that I could not believe his eyes were not destroyed," Kay said on the phone. "He’s definitely better and almost completely back to normal."

Praise God for answered prayer--- continue to lift up both you and Rick. Many have been concerned since no more was said on Twitter so your note above from Kay is welcomed -- hope things have improved again since last Friday--- Don and Hootie
